This beautiful piece of functional art is the kind of thing you can pass on to your children. Made of wild cherry that died naturally and then was given a second life as a traditional tool for your kitchen. Beautiful and useful, you won't believe how smooth this masher is or just how good it feels in your hand! It fits inside a regular/narrow mouth mason jar!
This Pieces Story
Like every piece, this is a one-of-a-kind item. This particular piece came from an old cherry tree near an area that was once a gold rush town and before that, a Native American resting point indicated by the many grinding stones found around the forrest. This cherry tree was dead standing with an impressive diameter of 19 inches and standing 60 feet tall. An unusually large wild cherry tree! In an effort to clean the forrest for fire safety we harvested this tree and are giving it new life in your homes by making beautiful functional art pieces like this one.
