How To Make Your Own Stone Pestle And Mortar (It’s Surprisingly Easy!)

Useful in the kitchen, and as beautiful as the stones you choose – how could you not want one of these? (I suspect they may make excellent chistmas presents too.)

It would be easy to make a deeper hollow than I made – but I really don’t think it was necessary. Plus, it’s easier to clean when it’s shallow.

Yes, this is a big heavy one – but if you want, just choose smaller stones. (Sorry, was that a bit obvious? But you wouldn’t believe some of the comments we get on our videos…)

Don’t steal our stuff!

Not sure which is more beautiful, the stones or your narration!

I want to go rock hunting now :-)
Cheers folks.

I can't express how lovely you two are. This is excellent, I'm excited to make one with some of the river stones I have nearby, thank you for making me happy with your video!

Its nice watching someone preserving the handiwork of our neolithic forefathers. 😆

Great video! This is a better design than the deep kitchen ones I have. I have been trying to crack hemp seeds but they keep skipping away 😂

I am going to steal this idea for a great Christmas present for a chef friend of mine, I hope he likes it.

Thanks for the inspiration.

That's ... a really nice idea. I didn't realize the granite would carve so easily!

I'm totally going to try this. Thanks so much!

The gift you have is that you are able to recognize potential quickly when you see it. That a lovely piece of art and a good Stone Pestle & Mortar. Thanks for sharing . Regards Patrick

Well done Sir! This very much follows my favorite principle: KISS. Very simple and effective Tim. Great!!

You can also use a bowl and I'm guessing a round rock or a carved round peice of wood too.

I had something like this in my head, great to see it being done. I'm gonna have to give it a go too!

That's just awesome and amazing. It reminds me of the Japanese wood or glass ikebana vase, they use to make their unique floral arrangements. I think the Japanese arrangements would be beautiful in a rock version as well, for if remember what read about them long ago, they often prefer using natural elements in their creations. It takes a special gift to take what is considered ordinary, and transform it into the extra-ordinary...and with it, you are both imbued. :) Gretchen

"Do you need anything ground up?" Wow, still laughing.
Sir, you are the Stone Whisperer, the Grinder Ninja, inspired me to secure a similar corduroy vice. Thanks!
