PESTLE AND MORTAR

HAND CARVED PESTLE AND MORTAR!

A present i made for my sister, very pleased with final product!!!

Off cut of rough sawn Teak rescued from the missus's Dad who was going to use it as a lump of firewood. Handle, carved Teak. Mortar finished with Walnut oil, Pestle, carved Teak with forged handle made from 20mm sq mild steel, twisted with scroll end and hidden tang. Forged handle heated and finished with olive oil, whilst hot.

20mm sq mild steel salvaged from the casualty scrap bin at college.

A great little achievement considering all components were destined for the Garbage. Posted by Picasa
