Not a pen...

I hadn't completed a pepper mill in a while, and this is my third. The wood is Hubabali and finish is sanded to 1500 grit with tung oil. Interested in your opinions and critiques.

That is a pretty shape. I haven't heard of that wood, it looks good.

Very nice. Good job matching the grain.

Thanks, guys. Personally, I think I should have planned out the transition from the top to the bottom a little better. The 'seam' shows up to well to me. Once you start cranking the top, it becomes more obvious. Maybe if the separation were up a little higher I could have put it under that top 'bell' and the seam wouldn't have been as visible, and also easier to sand . Still learning...
