A large mortar and pestle made in elm, finished with three coats of sunflower seed oil, dried between coats and finally polished with a soft cloth.
The mortar is four inches high, four and a half in diameter and the walls are just under half an inch thick. The pestle is six inches long. Made to order for a granddaughter who liked her father's one which I made some twenty five years ago. Apparently the current ones for sale are far too small and the crushed herbs fall out !
