Twine Acacia Wood Muddler, Bar Accessory and Cocktail Drinkware Tool, Kitchen Essential with Jute Storage Pouch, Set of 1, Wood Grain

Along the wood grain is a crack, which looks like it might be an area where funk is likely to There is more roughness in the finish than I had Several patches of the finish are glossy, which leads me to believe that they were stained (poorly) and have been stained or touched with A spot looks as if it had been filled with wood filler in one place. There is a point at which the base does not rest perpendicular to the shaft, resulting in a 10 degree lean when the object is standing on end There's 15 degrees ahead of us. In comparison to the picture posted by the other reviewer, the picture I received is a far cry from what I had in mind.

I concur with every review that states this will need some attention. That is frustrating, but I poured a whiskey, went to my shop for 30 minutes, and switched between small sheets of sand paper and steel wool until I achieved a much smoother, more satisfactory My next step was to clean it and then rub some vegetable oil on it. Those enhancements brought out the natural highlights in the wood and gave it a bit of a shine, so I'm happy with the final result. Overall, this is a good deal for someone who puts in a half hour or more of work to make it look nice. It is best to look somewhere else if you are looking for something that is ready to use.

Despite the fact that this is a good product and checks all the boxes for quality, it was deducted one star for one flaw. The wood color and the fit of the product are excellent. The color of the wood is great as well. Accent cuts adorn it to create a nice decorative look. Your drinking pleasure begins as soon as it is ready. There is only one problem, and it is a big one, and that is the texture The finish looks as if they were only using 120 grit sand paper for the job. There are scratches all over the tool's wood, making it very rough. My 240 grit sand paper and I lightly sanded it by hand. I like the feel of it very much and it's I think it still looks great to me, even with the lighter finish. Besides sanding their product, they need to complete the finish of this muddler with one more step. It would go from good to perfect if it had this feature.

One of the things that I learned from my online cocktail course was to be careful not to use muddlers with pointed ends, as they will bruise The class he was in had those points, so I had my son bring it over. This is what I found after looking for one after that class, as I had been considering buying one. The same cocktail was made using this one, and I can see why it is more This may not matter for fruit, but if you use mint/basil for cocktails, this is more beneficial. The bag serves to protect the glasses. The little watch is incredibly pretty, too. That's great! I'm very happy with it.

For those who care only about having a tool that functions, this is a good choice. It is the finish that is the problem. The muddler is not polished, and no matter how you polish it, even with bees wax polish, it always looks washed out and feels The look and feel of it would have made it a lot more appealing to me. In terms of its functionality, it's excellent. When it comes to muddling in cocktails, wood is the way to go. I never use the metal ones with plastic heads, especially those with ridges and They tear when you try to bruise. This type of container would be great for mint and the like, but it wouldn't look good as a gift or for a part of a bar cart or home bar. You can see it right after you take it out of the box that it already looks like someone ran it several times through a dishwasher. You will not find any shine on it, and its surface will feel unpleasant to you.

There's also a simple decorative carving that looks quite pretty. This cocktail easily fits in a shaker or tall Collins glass without taking up too much space. I received the muddler on time, and it came in a neat rustic cloth bag. I was pleased with There are very few people who will think that you're cheap or that you'll be mucking their cocktails with a marriage aid if you keep this on your bar.

Taking it one step further, this is not better or worse than the hardwood dowel I've used for a muddler for the last 10 years, but it looks a whole lot nicer.

In case the specimens are not kept with oil, they can develop cracks. As a muddler, it works well. This is a really nice.
