Salt and pepper, anyone?

Maple salt and pepper shakers.

The burn was done at 600 RPM using a piece of .032" safety wire. I was amazed with myself that they are so nearly identical. I'm really bad at turning things as matched pairs. lol

They ARE a nice match, congrats!!

Nicely done! The burn line is a great way to disguise the seam, too!

There's no seams. They're not grinders. They're just shakers. I had the maple sitting on the shelf and wanted to do something with it. Since I was short on funds, I went with shakers over grinders.

Grinders are coming, though, for sure!

Awe they are so cute.

Thanks, everyone, for the compliments. Be sure to watch for more when I return from deployment. I'll be burning about 45 days of leave between February and May, so I should be able to spend plenty of time at my lathe!

Very nice work. They will definitely make the food taste better and the table nicer.

Nice pair. And thank you for your service!!!

 

[Sheumais]

I can't wait to get home and do more of these, and to do some grinders.

When retirement gets here in 714 days (not that I'm counting), I hope to be able to do a lot of these!

Nicely done. Spice is the variety of life ;-) (or maybe I should say that I'd like to condiment your work)
