Restoring a rare antique mallet (Brass English infill joiner's Mallet)

Antique Brass English Infill Joiner's Mallet, the best mallet I've ever used!

Compact, weighs near the weight of a traditional oak mallet but quarter of the size.
You have four sides to hit with, the brass side is good for hand carving, the infill sides for paring.
Because of its size and now has a better handle the blows are perfectly controlled, I left a square neck cause I like that, I don't have to look at it when I need to pick it up again and have my hand exactly where I want it.
