Solid wood and comes well sealed* (appreciated that since it's going to be used for fermenting vegetables).I'll apply mineral oil to the end before the first use and although I don't expect this to last forever (it might), it's a nice design for tamping vegetables.Appreciate that by increasing the surface area on the food end (some of these are just flat or rounded), it's a bit harder to keep clean and there's a greater chance that the wood might split someday . especially if it's never seasoned with something like mineral oil or beeswax.It's 12 inches long. For fermenting, that's a great length.If you want something wider than approximately 1-5/8" (this will be particularly good for jars), I'd use some sort of potato masher.*The packaging dilemma: I'm trying to get away from plastic packaging so I don't have to throw it away: How do resolve this dilemma - for any packaging - especially food related?
