What kind of care does the wooden handle require, and how should the steel head be treated to prevent corrosion in the long term?

The hardwood handle should be regularly treated with linseed oil or linseed oil varnish to keep the wood supple and protect it from drying out or splintering. The carbon steel head requires regular cleaning to remove dirt and moisture; to prevent corrosion in the long term, a thin protective layer of clove oil, camellia oil, or an acid-free all-purpose oil should be applied.
What specific features characterize the hammerhead and how is it securely attached to the wooden handle to ensure stability during handling?

The hammerhead of the English warhammer by Windlass features a large prong on one side and two shorter points on the flanks, while the striking face is designed for shattering armor.
