Upon first opening the package, I realized that the stamp handle was raw wood with no finish to protect it from absorbing bacteria and food particles while using it for its intended purpose. It's a very good thing that the silicone stamp is easily removed from the handle for washing separately.
So I decided I'd just call on my extensive (but long dormant) woodworking/finishing skills and throw on a food-safe finish; annoying, but it WAS only $6.00. But then I thought about that completely un-necessary hole in the handle with the ridiculous cord looped thru it (that's a real bacteria magnet)... not going to be easy to get a finish on the surfaces of the drilled hole, but it's doable. Personally, I never would have made it that way.
Looking closer at the handle, I realize that the stamp I received was damaged; it was badly splintered one edge of the hole that is drilled through the top of the handle and had a chunk of wood missing. It also had black marks all over it. This stamp should not have been sold as "new" when the missing chunk was clearly a manufacturing defect, let alone all the black marks. I'm very disappointed and will not purchase from this company again. Very poor quality control.
I really would have been angry had I purchased the item directly from the SuckUk website where the cost was close to $20. and shipping to the USA was almost $25.00.
The cookie stamp is a great idea, but the handle is poorly executed. If you redesign your handle to be solid and have a food-safe finish, I would be happy to purchase more and recommend the product to others.
