Thank you for caring, Richard

.
If my eyes don't deceive me, that one is even taller than mine but apparently made of wood.
Still the conviction is that mine was made to grind something harder, to work on a static & industrial basis. With its weight (73 pounds without the pestle), the kitchen personal would find rather difficult to move it aside, when needed.
