Multi Wood Mortar & Pestle

The mortar & pestle is one of the great symbols of pharmacology, used in food and medicinal preparations for thousands of years. 

Each mortar and pestle are one-of-a-kind & locally handcrafted in Galveston, Texas. Made by artisan/ woodworker, MIchael Wodecki.  His wooden artistry is created using fallen/downed trees. Each masterpiece is handled with great care. Mike is passionate about his work, dedicating countless hours to aesthetic appeal and practical/stable use. 

This mortar and pestle is crafted with 4 types of wood, taking countless hours to perfect. The pestle is made from East Indian Rosewood (Dalbergia latifolia). The mortar is created from three beautiful  types of wood: the base is made from tamarind, the center stripe from oak and the top portion is walnut.
