A new batch of pepper mills

[TellicoTurning]

Trying to keep up with my inventory... last three weeks or so have sold a number of the mills and my inventory got a little low... these are the latest.

The walnut one I'm a little embarrassed over... I was going for a rocket ship, but don't think it turned out quite that way... may not be able to offer it in my current market environment.

second batch

Cont...

Total of 17 new mills this week.. but gonna skip this weekend at the market as LOML just had a pace maker implanted this past Tuesday and think I should stay home until next week.

All these mills are finished with Old Master's Sanding sealer, then ran a coating of Yorkshire grit over that to polish a bit before putting on a few coats of wipe on poly. Sizes range from the little 4" & 6" cranks to tallest at 10 1/2 inches... most of the crush grinds are all between 8 inches and 10 1/2 inches tall.

Beautiful work Chuck. Prayers sent for your wife.

Those look great Chuck. Curious to know about your techniques for embedding the spectra-ply--creates a great effect when it's not the primary wood. Awesome.

The first one is my favorite! I love the design of the wood!!

Thanks guys for the compliments and Bob thanks for the prayers...

Earl, the process with the Sprectraply is simply using a slice of it like a board and gluing the boards together. I usually glue boards in parallel then figure an angle cut across the corners and then re-glue the triangles back to a square... watch which direction your cut runs so you have the layers of the Spectraply rather than the edges.
