Three Pepper Mills

[louisbry]

I made these pepper mills for gifts to family members. The first is sap/heart wood walnut, the second is dogwood and the third is apple.
Comments are welcome.

I can see some happy family members in your future.

They all look good. +1 on the apple.

That Apple one rocks. I like the shape of all of them.

I love them! The dogwood is my favorite, just because it flows so nicely from the top to the bottom!

That IS a very pleasant shape!!

The apple may be a little thin, but small hands may be grateful for that!

Well done!!!

Pretty Pepper grinders Louis, I like all 3, and I like the shape and the chatter tool on the top, they sure help on end grain.
Also if I may, what finish did you use on them? I'm still trying to figure the best finish..

Thanks Ken. I applied a CA/BLO finish on the lathe. Thought it would be durable for a kitchen environment. On other mills I used a wipe-on poly finished. I am undecided on which I like best.

All nicely done. Visually very appealing, and the chatter on top is a nice touch.
