This natural hand turned and hand carved hand held juicer feels good in your hands and works perfectly for juicing lemons, limes, oranges or even a grapefruit. Its juicing end is made for somewhat larger fruits. The handle is shaped like a door handle making it very comfortable to use. The wide, smooth handle end spreads the pressure across your palm, making it easy on the wrist and a nice display piece. Perfect for juicing lemon over your salad, into soups, limes into guacamole, at your home bar or making drinks at a special event.
It's these simple pleasures of using a hand crafted piece of functional art that make life more enjoyable.
The technique for a juicer like this is to squeeze the fruit against the edges of the juicer as you gently turn it.
This Trees Story
The Pacific Madrone is an evergreen member of the heath family (Ericaceae), closely related to blueberries, mountain laurels, rhododendrons, and manzanita. They are relics of Madro-Tertiary geoflora that lived on this same land millions of years ago. They are a striking tree with beautiful red bark and a curving twisting growth pattern.
This tree lived to a ripe old age and fell naturally on her own during a storm. We harvested and dried the wood, preparing it for carving. This is one of the beauties that came from this tree. A one-of-a-kind piece of function art for your kitchen and home.
