I turned this after lunch today. If I have the wood laid out, it usually takes me about 45 minutes to an hour to turn a set. I burned some lines for the giggles of it as it just seemed to be the thing to do. The mortar is 5 1/4" in diameter, 2 1/4" high with depth of 1 1/2". The pestle is 4 1/2" long with a diameter of 1 1/4" on the mashing end. I have the bevels on the mashing part and the mortar fairly well matched. I did my usual sealing with walnut oil and polished it up with a walnut oil/shellac mixture. Fun to make and generally fast sellers for me. Hope ya likes it.
