Here are a few of his lastest cocobolo peppermills... i think he's got the process down! peppermills 70-73
I think he has some more to do...yes when the pile is done there will like 100
pen blanks

finish is mylands sealer, them 3 or 4 coats of mylands friction polish, then carnuaba wax

Great looking pieces. Do you know what size blanks he starts out with? Cocobolo is beautiful wood.

Those look great! Pepper mills are high on my to-do-someday list.

He tries to start out with 3x3x13 because you have to cut a tenon in the blank for the top to stay on the body... and a 12 in blank is not long enough to make a 12 inch peppermill.

Thanks. When are you going to start turning them?

There is some great color in #2 and #3. It is one of my favorite woods but I've never done anything larger than a pen with it.

Very nice elegant looking mills and great figure in the wood.

Interesting. I didn't know you could use cocobolo for pepper mills due to the allergy issues.
