So, only from a purely personal perspective, I've just never been a big fan of maple. That is until......... @Mike1950 sent me some of his. Various curl and burl BLM peppermills from 12-15". Danish oil and three stage buff/wax. Can't wait to buy more blanks from Mike.
WOW- Cool Mills- lots going on in those. You really did a nice job with blanks. Love the one with dark top. Cool thing about Big Leaf is If you do not like the figure or color move to a different board. Wild range of colors and figure. I'm cuttin Boss.......
