Boxwood Mallets (aka Tinmans Mallets), have a cylindrical head mallet of high density wood such as Lignum Vitae or Boxwood, with a resilient, shock absorbing cane handle.
Uses
Used by Tinsmiths to fold and bend edges of Tinplate for example.
Note: Folding an edge over with a mallet avoids stretching the metal and causing it to bend along the edge.
