T-113 - Two-Cherry Mushroom Pestle
Cherry
4¼” x 2” $32.
Mark Baldwin, Surry Maine This charming little pestle will demonstrate its over-size power to grind (in any practical bowl) and to crush a garlic with its flat end. Besides all that, using this little baby is a captivating chore for a child. Notice that there are two pieces of cherry glued together. The dark piece is from a log cut for WWI airplane propellers in 1915 but broke through the ice on Maine’s Green Lake when the woodcutters were towing a load to a sawmill. Scroll to T-003 on page 2 to see more about that. The lighter piece was cut and milled in the 1990s. Why were we were astonished that the first “mushroom pestle” sold within 15 minutes of putting it on the site? It works so well. As this note is written there is a south-southeast gale blowing; the bay is full of white froth, minnows are jumping in a calm little nook in the marsh making brilliant white flashes among the hard-driving rain drops. It’s the kind of day you’re happy to be on solid ground, at the lathe.
Cost each: $32.00
Unit size: One of a kind
