Naturally MedOlive Wood Rustic Mortar and Pestle - 4.7 inch. for Grinding Spices, Salsa, Herbs etc. Durable, Hardwearing. Handcrafted Tunisian Olive Wood.

Absolutely stunning I leave mine sitting out. It works well, although there were a few rough edges

So beautiful. Have to put oil on to season. Seasoning makes it look even more beautiful. Almost to beautiful to use.

For a long time the answer was "no" since I have a food processor, coffee grinder and heavy-duty blender. And yet articles and reviews on this ancient hand grinder kept calling me. But I ignored them until this one came along. I have a small kitchen so adding something to the counter tops is a major decision. Until this one came along. I love natural wood products and this one is lovely. So for a while I just enjoyed looking at it until I picked a recipe requiring that I grind whole spices. It's lovely and does a great job -- it's heavy enough and light enough and shaped perfectly to fit its pestle. It's just a joy to see and use. (Someone's review mentioned splinters, and I could see how those would happen at the cut of the wood burl. I used a fine grit sanding sponge to smooth that area "just in case" and it's fine.) If you keep coming back to this kitchen tool, just give in and buy it. You won't regret the purchase.

The pestle fits nicely in my hand and the mortor is a good size with a capacity of a little more than a cup. The wood grain pattern is very pretty. The inside edges are a little rough but a little fine grain sand paper should take care of that. I look forward to using it.

Good weight, good size, well made, good price.

I love the look. I also added some smaller wooden items to my kitchen counter and white back wall. looks so nice.

Gorgeous mortar and pestle and heavy duty for vigorous blending with lots of pressure.

Beautiful and practical! Not often a combination you find
