Splendid Pecan Mortar & Pestle
Oh,
the color of pecan wood can simply be splendid looking! The wood this mortar and pestle set was
turned from is such a good example of that.
While shaping the mortar I decided to give it a bit of a flare at the
base. Also, I burned two lines on the outside
just for decorative purposes. The wood
was sealed with food grade walnut oil and then finished with a walnut oil based
wax. The mortar is 5” in diameter, 2 ¾”
high and 1 ¾” deep. The volume measured
at 1 cup. The pestle is 1” in diameter
with a length of 5”. This beautiful set
will come in handy whether you are a professional chef or the household
cook. I use a similar set in my
kitchen. 13Mar18 VP41 For more info see:

I am not a great fan of mortar and pestles. It was when I was turning one and it flew of my chuck and hit me on my shoulder ( very painful )since then I have never made any more. This one you have turned is stunning, beautiful colour and a nicely turned base. Although like I said I am not a fan of them but I do admit I do like yours Dave.
ReplyDeleteHi Les! Sorry about the mishap while turning one of these. That sort of thing does happen now and then. Can be downright hurtful! But, glad you like the looks of it. Take care, my friend.
