Food Masher/Large Wooden Pestle

Step 6Clean it and then try it out

Clean it and then try it out
You should wash all of the dirt and saw dust off of your with soap and water pestle before using it. When the wood drys rub it with vegetable oil until the surface changes color and then wipe off the excess. Oiling will make the pestle look nicer and last longer. Every once in a while you should take the time to reoil the wood. Most varnishes are not meant to be ingested and should not be put on wood that will come in contact with your food.

After all your hard work I bet you feel like some mashed potatoes?

Perhaps I am the heretical harbinger of the New Archaic, perhaps I just like wood.
