[gary Zimmel]

Good Day to the Turners of the Creek!

I finally get to stroke a couple people off my xmas present list.
8" Walnut peppermills.
Mineral oil and wax finish.
Still doing little changes to my template as the boss wants.
Maybe after another 6 or 7 I will have a form i will stick with.....

Gary, the classes paid off! And, it just doesn't get any better than walnut in my book. I like the form very well, but whatever Geri says will be the final word.;)

Did you burn in the lines? I am going to try that on my tool handles when I get around to them.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Wow! All of them look really good! Nice forms, details and wood!

You having fun yet!

[Gary Herrmann]

Nice job, Gary. I still haven't gotten around to peppermills for some reason.

Are your hand tools getting dusty yet?

[gary Zimmel]

Thanks for all the comments.
And yes Steve we are having fun.

John the details at the bottoms were done with a skew.
Just did little vees.

And yes Gary H the hand tools are getting dusty.
But that may change soon as I can smell another community build in the air..
And in Feb. it will be time to do some more cherry cabinets for my shop.
With and cut drawers of course....

[Mike Golka]

Gary, all of these look great! Of course, I am partial to the walnut, but the maple ones are beautiful, as well. You may have intended this, but your style has sort of a Byzantine flavor to it! Turkish peppermills!:D

Really nice Maple mills as well!

In the future, when you have additional turnings, I suggest you start a new thread just to bring the new work to everyone's attention.

Very nice Gary. Walnut is such a beautiful wood.
