Meat Tenderizer Bocote
I made a second batch of meat tenderizing mallets after a friend custom ordered a few so naturally I made extras. This mallet is made of Bocote and Wenge with a handle made of Cherry. The head is 3.5 by 3.5 inches, and the 2 striking faces are a bit more than 6 inches apart. The handle is 6 inches long and has nice rounded corners to form a nice grip. The mallet weighs a bit more than 850 grams and will tenderize any meat with ease.
I used Tightbond 3 wood glue which is not only water proof but also food safe. I finished all of the hammers with some food safe mineral oil and a light coat of wax to seal everything in. I recommend adding another coat of food safe Mineral Oil every year or 2 depending on usage, or when the wood looses its shinny gleam.
I advise to use the flat striking face most of the time and to reserve the teeth for those really tough cuts of meat. Cleanup can be made easier if the meat(s) are covered with some plastic wrap but I would only do this when using the flat striking face. There is a small chance the teeth could punch little bits of plastic wrap into the meat, which would not be good.
Shipping is included for US order. For international orders please contact me first.
