The request for this pizza peel/paddle comes from the the heartland of the Midwest, Lee's Summit, Missouri and is being created as a birthday present for the clients father.

This peel is being made out of  1/2 inch thick dark walnut and is 15 1/2 inches wide by 16 inches tall, with the overall length being 32 inches.   A hole was drilled in the top end of the handle and a leather strip was tied in so the peel could be hung up.  The front edge has a 3 inch bevel to be able to work with the pizza. It was engraved with an Epilog laser using Occidental font.

This custom peel is is coated with a food grade mineral oil finish which we recommend for all of our peels.
 
Recommended Care Instructions:

We highly recommend oiling your custom pizza peel frequently.
Over time oiling will preserve and protect woodenware from
splitting and cracking.  Wash peel with a mild detergent,
not allowing the board to soak.  Dry the board, and apply
an even amount of a “food safe mineral oil” with a soft
cloth.  Remove any excess oil.

Warning:
Do not use any kind of vegetable or olive oil as they tend
to turn rancid.
Your pizza peel is not dishwasher compatible.

Enjoy your custom pizza peel
