Can't go wrong with Mike's burl!
Man, that's just purely beautiful. ............... Jerry (in Tucson)
wow- that is stunning., Nice use of that blank.
Thanks and good idea on the salt mill Chuck. However- I’ll probably make another Peppermill from the second piece of wood. I do make salt cellars for the salt. I’ll try to remember to post some pics of those sometime. Appreciate it!
Just completed my Crushgrind peppermill entry. Wood is Black Walnut from a friend that passed away a couple years ago. Finish is 5 coats of satin wipe-on poly. I loaded it with peppercorns, and it works as advertised! Chuck
After lunch, I'm going to attempt another mill like the one I just screwed up. I think I have the drilling for dowels figured out. Now, just have to remember the steps I established back when I made that mandrel. .............. Jerry (in Tucson)
Derek, I just made one in about 3 1/2 hours. Piece of cake, but not worthy of entering as I didn't have the mechanism, and stopped when I discovered a discrepancy. It is very functional, but it's not purrfeck. I just posted a thread. ............ Jerry (in Tucson)
Johnathon, I just made another in about 3 1/2 hours. You just need to apply yourself unless this is your first and don't have any instructions. ............. Jerry (in Tucson)

You guys have been making some really impressive mills for this challenge. I'd be proud to have any of them sitting on my dinner table. Voting is going to be very hard on this one.

Best weekend in several years. We usually have a very strong hunt or two, but this year every time we got in a field we had loads of birds. Jason (guide) said its just been one of those years, the best he's seen in the last 10. If you have time, you should get out there before it changes.
