A grinding treat!

[John Eldeen]

Here is a couple of peppermills that where a real joy to turn. After all of the waiting for glue to dry seeing the pattern emerge brings a smile to my face.
Starting from the left is padauk, purple heart and black walnut next is birdseye maple and chechen and last but not least is jatoba and maple.
As always question and comments are welcome.

beautiful segmentation... I don't do the standard mills, (I'm a little measurementally challenged and if you're off much the mills don't work right)
I prefer the crush grind ... I can cut the shaft to fit my turning rather than have to make my turning fit the shaft.

Your mills are beautiful....

As mentioned earlier--great planning!! Appreciate the pics from the top to get an idea of how you got to the end product.

Thank you.
The trick with a standard mill is to error on the short side of your measurements then at the end if you need to you can cut the shaft down a little.

Absolutely wonderful eye-appeal in all of those mills !!!

CONGRATULATIONS on your very fine work of segmenting and turning !!!

Beautiful stuff! For some reason seeing the three of them side by side I am minded of the Three Magi.

Those are pretty awesome! All 3 are beautiful but the birdseye maple/chechen really catches my eye. As mentioned, thanks for the pics from the top showing how the blanks were glued up.

Makes sense of the saying- Back to the old grind! Outstanding segmenting!
