3 feet long, very heavy, solid oak with a cast iron cap.
Curious to know the history behind this tool, what it was used for and what time period.

Would really appreciate some information on this item.
I've seen these used to pound things in the islands. The bowls look like a deeply hollowed out stump. Not sure what all they pound but arrowroot comes to mind. Maybe bitter cassava to get the cyanide out to feed people they don't like.
Thank you blunderbuss2
