Description

Sycamore burl 15 cm

This mill is made from the wood of a very old sycamore maple from the old botanical garden in Munich.
The tree was felled by the city because it threatened to tip over onto the street.
A long piece of bark runs through this piece and the wood is partly filled with epoxy resin. The lid is closed by a transparent cast edge, it was not sanded straight.

Burl woods are natural gimmicks and occur either in so-called burl bulbs or in whole grained trunks. Measles bulbs are wart-like growths on tree trunks, as you often see them on avenue trees. An accumulation of “dormant” buds or wild growth of hundreds of small branches at the same time.

The multiple soaking with hard oil offers solid protection and gives the wood structure depth and plasticity. The elaborate surface treatment gives our mills a pleasant, velvety feel.
So that the pepper mills do the best for what they were created, we install high-quality ceramic grinders from Crushgrind. Due to the ingenious, wear-free construction, the company gives a 25-year guarantee on its grinder parts. Ceramic is suitable for salts, pepper and spices. Due to the uniquely good transport of this grinder, it is also suitable for oily and moist spices, such as B. red pepper. Ceramic is harmless to health and easy to clean.
