Cleaned it, lightly sanded it, then started to prepare it with boiled linseed oil https://www.instructables.com/Linseed-Oil-Mallet/

Mine looked nothing like that, the handle didn’t fit properly and the teacher ended up using it for a wood glue demo. Luckily, school army cadets started and I joined that instead

I love my Mallet and she has been with me a long time.

aaaahhhh, I had to google pyrography.

Wow, never thought of that.
My mallet has soaked on 1 face for 3 days, the opposite face for 2 days. Now on the top of the handle. It looks gorgeous already. Will oil the handle using just a rag.

Might hang it on a wall upstairs.
It's beautiful, it's wood.
