This tamper by Saint Anthony Industries takes on a classic shape then evolves to solve ergonomic and aesthetic challenges of many traditional tampers.  The wood to metal joint is perfectly smooth and a pleasure for your thumb to rest on. The stainless steel base is precisely machined  to 58.3 mm.  The removable and replaceable base has a slight taper on the sides and is hand polished to a mirror finish.  A natural beeswax and lemon oil finish is applied to the handle prior to the final leather buffing. Please note that each wood finish will vary slightly due to the natural occurrences in the wood.
