Just remember when using it to strike against the rings and not parallel. I recently split a tropical hardwood mallet (from foxmaple.com), which is a similar design, because I picked it up and was hitting parallel. I did glue it back to together and it's still usable.
Your mallet looks very nice! Where did you get Lignam Vitae?
