Update 2 (4/1/2022): After using the replacement sent to me by the seller for a week while also sealing with refined coconut oil, no more cracking. Each time I use it, I wash, towel dry and then apply coconut oil by hand until the whole stomper is glossy- making sure to coat the ends. I then leave it on the counter to allow it to absorb the oil effectively sealing it. This has prevented cracking, although, it's more effort than I originally planned on going through. Be sure to seal, or it will crack.Update 1 (3/23/2022): Went from 1 star to 3 stars. The seller reached out soon after my review and offered to send me a new pounder, free of charge. I'm going to take the reccomendation from the Q&A on this item and seal my new pounder with coconut oil after each use. There is no instruction on doing this provided by the seller and no mention of needing to do it on the product packaging. I'll see how the sealing goes and see if cracking is prevented.Original review: I've had this for about 3 days and it's already splitting..It's sturdy, has great weight to it and is ergonomically shaped but all of that means little if it's splitting so soon. The cracks aren't ideal because they can harbor undesired bacteria and you don't want that in your ferments.

I oil treated it with olive oil and have used it 3 times for smashing beans.So far so good and no cracks yet.

Wonderful and good quality wood. Don’t hesitate on this one.
