These high quality pestles are made from natural Japanese prickly ash wood and have a leather hanging loop. The entire process of making the pestles is done by hand, from cutting the trees to the finished product! Prickly ash takes a long time to grow, which makes the tree hard and excellent for abrasion.
Available in 4 sizes...choose your perfect size from the options above. Or, purchase multiples to have the right one ready no matter what your are grinding!
The 4" pestle is approx. 5/8" diameter w/ a 3" hanging loop.
The 6 3/4" pestle is approx. 7/8" diameter w/ a 3 1/2" hanging loop.

The 12" pestle is approx. 1 1/2" diameter w/ a 4 1/2" hanging loop.
Since these are made from natural wood, there can be a slight differentiation in size.
Hand wash and dry immediately, taking care to not get the leather loop wet.

The appropriate length of a pestle is approx. twice the diameter of the mortar you are pairing it with, however, can vary depending on what you are crushing.
