The Oak Mortar & Pestle
Made to restore a tactile, enduring ritual to grinding, crushing and seasoning food by hand.
01 — Story
Purpose, material, and presence.
We started with the grinding action: a stable bowl, generous interior curve and pestle profile that sits naturally in the palm. The oak was carved back to these essential contact points, leaving a quiet sculptural object when it is not in use.

Care / Maintenance
With a little attention, the surface will continue to deepen gracefully over time.
Dust with a soft dry cloth and wipe spills promptly with a lightly damp cloth, then dry the surface. Avoid abrasives, standing water and prolonged direct heat. Refresh the oil finish when the timber begins to look dry; seek professional care for deeper marks or repairs.
