Beautiful as well as great functionality
This tortilla press is beautifully crafted.  But more importantly, it is a standout in functionality.  I have been making corn tortillas for quite a while, using a cast iron tortilla press.  However, they never quite got to the point where I was really pleased with them.  I decided to purchase this hardwood version after reading about it and about  hardwood presses in general.  One of the main things I wanted was a corn tortilla that was a little thinner.  I submitted a question to the owner and he responded very quickly.<br /><br />I received the press and made a batch of corn tortillas the same day.  Wow!  This press helped produce the thin corn tortilla I had been looking for.  The press is beautiful to look at and to use and the 8&#34; size is perfect for the typical size of corn tortillas.  Note to other reviewers who were less than pleased in using it for flour tortillas -- it is NOT meant for flour tortillas.  I have been making flour tortillas for a long time as well and they need to be rolled out with a small rolling pin -- not pressed.
