I needed to make a new one of the following items for the LOML, and I have a bunch of ash blanks I made from some ash I scored from a tree trimmer a while back; this one was originally destined to become a peppermill, but this need was greater. Finish is butcher block conditioner/wax. This was an everyday implement at one time, as some may remember (or still use, like we do). Any guesses?

I have no idea but it looks nice. I like the burned in lines that you did.
The only thing that comes to mind (and I can't believe this would be correct), but it looks like the pegs used to hold the rigging lines on a sailing ship, but it's probably some kind of kitchen implement. Maybe a pestle? -

Thanks for playing, and the kind comments. Paul and Carl got it, its a pestle, Carl nailed the specifics on use. We have the same canning sieve colander (Wearever #8), which we use to separate the meat/pulp from the seeds/skins of chili peppers for the salsa we make.
But I can see where Dan thought this a dibble - they are essentially the same shape, so I may make another as a dibble for LOML, to help her plant those chili pepper plants...Bill in Buena ParkComment
