Spalted Birch Peppermill

[Vern Tator]

I bought a couple of peppermill blanks from @brown down a few years ago. I liked the result so well that I have used one of them in my kitchen ever since. It is now time for it to go to market, so I thought I would post a pic before it leaves. I was some of the prettiest wood I have had for mills. Not too bad for a phone picture.

Nice mill! I really like the shape. It won't last long when you put it on the shelf for sale.

The finish is Dr's Woodshop Shellac, walnut oil and Wax . It does a great job on Peppermills, I apply 4 or 5 coats, while the lathe is running, over a thin coat of dewaxed shellac. I apply with a papertowel and hold it till it is so hot I have to let go. Works great.
