This is my take on the mystery salt shaker that was featured in the latest Woodturning Design mag. A pretty simple and fun item to make and could be a good gift giver. The only thing I ended up changing was the size of the hole in the funnel. The original 1/8 hole seemed to put out too much salt. I plugged that hole and redrilled to 1/16 and that seems better to me. I guess it would depend on ones taste as far as how much salt is too much. The wood is maple with just a beeswax finish on it.

I remember the article and it seemed like it would be something cool to try out. Your version looks really nice! I also like your idea of using a 1/16" hole! Nice work!
