It is called a gavel. The gavel was first introducted to american law and legislature in 1789 by Vice-President John Adams. He used it to called the senate to order. The gavel reamining in the senate and in judicial courts is more symbolic to history than anything else. The gavels main purpose is to get attention, and when the gavel is hit it ends discussion/debate. Hence the reason it is hit after the judge makes a ruling of court

If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you should use, it's something that you would be insane not to. Go here https://tr.im/GBSWQ
Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.
