Over the past ten or so years, my 40-year old lignum vitae mallet has
seemed
to dry out and is becoming increasingly brittle,
http://home.houston.rr.com/snaps/mallet.jpg Is there a way of
re-introducing some sort of wax or oil to the head of this puppy? I think
the warranty has expired and am not sure it will last another 40 years.



er --- will YOU last another 40 years? If not, don't worry about it.
