Howdy all,
My 9x's Great Grandfather, William Tucker, arrived at the Jamestown Colony in 1610 and my 4x's Great Grandfather, Daniel Tucker, was a Captain in the Revolutionary War. In early July my wife and I were at Fort Eustis, Virginia to attend AIT graduation for our son as an Army UH-60 Blackhawk mechanic. While we were in the area we visited Jamestown and Yorktown, which is where the Revolutionary War ended with the surrender of General Cornwallis, and magically a chunk of wood from each place made it into our car. With the wood I turned these pepper/salt mills and they will be a set that commemorates two very important places in the history of our country and my family's connection to them. The mill on the left is spalted oak and I have no clue as to what wood the one on the right is.
