In a hammer style mallet (as opposed to a maul) Barry makes a 24 oz 28 oz and a 32 oz in a 2.5 inch face mallet in either straight or taper. You might find the 32 oz to your liking for geometric although a 24 oz or 28 oz works for me except for one of Bob Beard's stamps that I have that a 32 oz or so would be nice; it's a really big stamp.

Be careful of early mauls and Chinese mauls as some of them tend to flake off bits of the striking surface which gets all up into the work. Barry King, Bear Man, Berry (son of Bear Man), and the Maul Master series of mauls haven't given me any trouble so far.
