handle_width: float = 32,
head_stock: Stock = BEECH,
handle_stock: Stock = ASH,
) -> Assembly:
"""A mallet: a long handle tenoned through the middle of a big head."""
asm = Assembly("mallet")
head = asm.add(Board("head", head_stock, length=head_length, width=head_width))
handle = asm.add(Board("handle", handle_stock, length=handle_length, width=handle_width))
