This is Lovely Warden's latest creation. McColleague and I discovered it in the bird hide. It is a massive, hand crafted wooden mallet. I do not know why Lovely Warden has made it and am reluctant to ask (it takes all the fun out of guessing, for a start).
Is it for giant games of croquet? Dealing with the squirrels who steal the nuts meant for the birds? What uses can there be for a giant wooden mallet in a bird hide?

He probably misheard you. He probably thought you said he'd look good with a big mullet.
Before i hazard a guess can i ask how heavy it is? Can you lift it? Can you pick it up and swing it?
It's HUGE!
It could be for making the Sandwich Terns fit between the pieces of bread, or even manufacturing a Mallard Fizz...It'd certainly make a Swallow gulp...(Choughed if I know where these all came from!)...
However, the real answer is far more mundane...when he gets back with the paint, it's going to be...
(wait for it...)

A Yellowhammer! (groan)
for whacking really big bad birds? surely not.
perhaps a prototype pogo stick
Reg - *groan*. I like it though.
Jasmine - It's very heavy, far too heavy for McColleague or I to comfortably swing!
Cogidubnus - you and Reg should form a double act!
Monica - hmmmm... it wasn't terribly bouncy....
Hmm... it's a medieval Cuisinart?
Ginny - that's good suggestion! Purees, blends and tenderises!
He heard that women like men with large 'wood'
It might be a war-mallet, for bashing stray knights who fall into the moat....
"you and Reg should form a double act!"
Cogipither? Regidubnus?
Gawd it don't bear thinking abaht...
Anonymous - he probably hears that a lot...
Stitchwort - it would be terribly effective - any knight in armour hit with that while in the moat would be permanently embedded in several feet of silt.
Cogidubnus - I quite like it...
"Cogidubnus - I quite like it..."
Yes I'd heard that, but I was far too gentlemanly to mention it...
