Finished it up today and waiting for customer approval. Had the dickens of a time sanding this mainly on the inside. There were some spots that just gave me fits, as pecan can do. But, though here and there I can see a spot the whole inside feels nice and smooth. Same as the outside. As this is more or less for commercial usage I only used walnut oil on it. 3 coats. Then buffed with pecan shavings. It's right at 10" in diameter, 5" deep as requested and 5 3/4" high. The pestle is 9 1/2" long and 1 1/4" in diameter. The thing holds 1 full gallon. I burned some lines in the handle of the pestle to help with gripping it as well as decorative. There were a couple of shallow cracks in the lip that I fixed with natural pecan dust and clear glue letting the set and dry for two days. Can't feel them so I figger they be good. Here's to hoping you likes it!
