Good looking mills. Great job.
Brilliant use of your woods... I think the glue up blanks make the best looking mills... I need to start a few this spring for my market starting in May... great job.
I prefer the crush grind mills myself since I'm a little measurementally (or maybe just mentally) challenged.
I've never tried a crush grind ... now I need to try something else new!

I think you'll like the crush grinds... I think the design opportunity is more open...
Ed Brown mentioned about the grooves and greasy hands in a kitchen... I finish all of my mills with multiple coats of polyurethane over a couple of coats of sanding sealer... easily cleaned with a damp cloth or even with soap and water... also I use the Titebond III for the glue ups... it's supposed to be water proof.
VERY nicely done! Couple things I see: 1 - the grooves at the bottom are all evenly spaced and of equal depth (nice turning technique) 2 - the finish looks excellent (what was your finishing schedule?)
