Acacia Wood Muddler - Bar Accessory and Cocktail Drinkware Tool

I actually gave this a light sanding with 220 grit and finished it with mineral oil, it’s a beautiful muddler looks great with my Acacia cutting board

My wife bought this as a gift for me. I can't stand plastic and metal is not aesthetically appealing to me. This is a perfect muddler! Fantastic looking, flat face, not milled, so it's super easy to clean. It's not lacquered so you know nothing bad is going into your drinks unless you're the one to blame. The title says acacia wood, but the description says it's beechwood. It's acacia as far as I can tell. Mine has a lovely verrugated blend of wood grain colors.The only "treatment" I give to culinary wood items beyond washing them is the occasional light rubbing with mineral oil. This has been oiled. Yes, it came in that cool little bag. Totally unnecessary, but I thought it was pretty sweet.Ergonomics are great, too! I use both a grip on the end or along the axis depending on what I'm doing. Feels comfy both ways. Given that this is one of the most inexpensive muddlers on BarGiant, I'm shocked people buy anything else! If you want a clean and attractive muddler to add to your swanky bar set, this is for you!

This is a fine product that checks the boxes in terms of quality, but has one flaw that kept it from 5 stars.Foremost, it fits great in the hand. The color of the wood is great. It has nice accent cuts in it for decoration. It’s ready to go to work for your drinking pleasure.The only issue, and it is a big issue, is the roughness of the finish. It’s as if they only used 120 grit sand paper when finishing this. The wood is very rough all over the tool, scruffy. I took some 240 grit sand paper and sanded it lightly myself. It feels great and very smooth. This did lighten the finish but it’s still looking great to me.They need to take one more step and sand their product to complete the finish of this muddler. This would elevate it from pretty good to perfect
