Earlier this year, during a thunderstorm, the Hollow Tree dropped a limb. Because every part of her is precious, the wood scraps were salvaged to make bowls, plates, and kitchen tools.. This free-form mortar and pestle has irregular edges and dark ripples. However, the holes, cracks, and ripples have their own beauty. They are the bits that remain of decades of memories: foraging birds, burrowing creatures, jostling winds, droughts, lightning strikes, voices raised in song, tinkling bells.ย 
ย 
Each hand-turned olive wood mortar and pestle is unique, with natural occlusions and marks.ย  It measures about 4 inches across.ย  Wash it by hand and maintain it with occasional application of olive oil.ย  It was manufactured in a sustainable fashion in Tunisia, using the offcuts of wood created during the pruning process.ย  (Cultivated olive trees are pruned to increase their longevity.)

So Sweet

I didn't know cats like olive wood. But when I brought this into the kitchen they were all over it. I googled it and they like olive wood. Luna and Leo are in love. Thank you for such a sweet item.

I collect interesting mortar/pestle sets, and the olive wood set makes a beautiful addition. The wood is absolutely gorgeous . This blends in nicely with all my other birdmoss-y treasures.
