Our Ball handle is a variation on the Palm. Its easy grip, heft, and low center of gravity make it a great tool for all tamper base sizes.
Western "Big Leaf" Maple is a hardwood species native to the pacific northwest. Less dense than it's Eastern "Hard" Maple cousin, this tamper is lighter but has a beautiful, soft color palette that can range from a pale to warm, honey color.
All our wood handles are artisan-crafted by Reg himself, and finished by hand using Reg's proprietary mixture of food-safe natural finishes. They develop a soft, satin patina with use.
Note:
Please note that this listing is for a handle only. Handles and bases must be specified individually to create a complete tamper. We'll assemble it for you before shipping.
Sustainability: This wood species is not listed in the CITES Appendices or on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
