Thanks all for the great comments! With wood like this it's pretty easy to turn something that is really beautiful... the only thing I had to worry about was to not screw it up!
Scott, they are sold to a customer down in Texas.
Thanks again

you work and finish is great.

Beautiful job. The pepper mills look terrific, not just the beautiful wood, but I really like the shape and contours of them. One question though. Did you do anything to treat the inside of the pepper mills or will the pepper be up against the spalting wood? I considered making some out of spalted wood, but since spalting is caused by fungus, I was concerned that it could affect the pepper if it remains in contact with the bare spalted wood. Any thoughts...

Jim,
When I use spalted or ambrosia wood for mills that is nice and dry I don't worry about it. With our personal ambrosia maple mills or spalted pecan mills that I have made for friends, it has not been a problem at all. I guess if you're worried about it you could coat the inside with some thin CA to seal things off.
