One of several left handed kitchen tools handmade in the USA by Mark Hamm. The potsitter not only strains liquid, it also rests on on the edge of your pot between stirrings. Carved with care and precision from beautiful, velvet smooth, cherry wood. Cherry is hard and very strong, with a tight grain, so that it can be elegantly shaped and yet lightweight.
Hamm's designs are fashioned in the tradition of self-reliant American woodworkers, where all hand tools were made on the farm for the specific user's requirements. Hamm's family has had a relationship with farming and woodworking since colonial times. His handmade tools are a continuation of two and a half centuries of American farming and woodworking.
