I bought this wood mortar because I've always wanted to own a mortar. I use it to be processed into powder predominantly peppercorns, allspice or Chillis. And I must say, after the first three times I have to say the use of mortar at a price really is value. He is now, of course, not so scary large and thus is prepared to rather smaller portions, but for home use is the size of the mortar in my opinion, ideal. The timber also has a very beautiful structure and is very smooth but nevertheless affects all natural and uncoated. In the picture it looks a bit like as if the mortar is still very coarse fibers and grooves that you could possibly still strongly feel with your fingers. But this is not so! Happy and with a clear conscience I give here again the full five stars!
