Nice job, Barry!!

Interesting, when we did shows, I made LOTS of laminated blanks. With exotic hardwoods-usually.

First, they SOLD really well, for a premium price.
Second, the wood cost less in 4/4 than the 12/4 turning squares, so the raw materials for a laminated exotics (I avoided oily woods) actually cost LESS than a cherry or walnut blank (usually).

Suddenly, my wood source started cutting cherry blanks (12/4) and selling them for next to nothing---but that was AFTER we quit shows!! (TIMING is EVERYTHING)

Very good looking pepper mill .
Well done.

I too have made many laminated ones . Great way to use up pieces of wood that are not big enough for larger projects.

Nice to see so many pepper mills being posted lately.

Agree with Ed... I do lots of glue ups for my pepper mills... like Ed said, it's cheaper to use board lumber on a per mill blank than to buy the 4x4 blanks themselves...

Great looking pepper mill.
