Would you have known what this was, apart from our post title?
We wouldn't have - their sleek and beautifully turned wood shapes are so different from the cheap tin biscuit cutters we normally use. These are hand-turned, sanded smooth, and rubbed with food safe mineral oil.
We think they're absolutely beautiful - a wonderful gift that would last for a long time.

Without the title I'd have been totally lost. I would have guessed the first gag "dribble cup" circa the 16th century. And I would have been terribly wrong.
real biscuit makers don't use cutters, they roll it by hand or use a juice glass if it's for the church dinner ham biscuits.
They're gorgeous, but they don't seem terribly practical. Isn't the point of the lightweight metal biscuit cutters that they're very sharp and won't smoosh down (I believe that's the technical term) the edges of the biscuits as you cut them?
My first thought was that it would have been perfect in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
While I agree that it is very nice, I think this is an item that would have limited use for people who don't make biscuits very often. I have to say though, looking at things like this keeps my goal of buying a place with a big kitchen in the forefront of my mind. It reminds me of the things I would like to do once I leave the tiny corridor I currently have.
Yes, I know what it is. I have used one for several years. Mine was purchased at Yoder's Department Store in Shipshewana Indiana. It has, however, cracked because I was dumb and didn't keep it oiled. The wooden cutters work beautifully as long as they are properly floured. No mushing of the edges, Leslie.
However, $14 for a biscuit cutter? Really? From what planet are they imported? Mine was under $5 and lasted for at least 10 years.
I'm currently browsing online for someplace to beat Wood Elements' unreasonable prices.
