A few weeks ago I posted pics of a mill I was donating to a local charity auction.

I put a reserve bid on it of $100.00 thinking that if it didn’t go for more I would put in the money and keep the mill. Well I was a little disappointed that no one thought it was worth that kind of money:( and got the mill back and donated the $100.00 in cash. 2 weeks ago some of the ladies on the job site started collecting for the local Santa’s anonymous. There are about 1200 people on site so I thought ah ha, another chance for my mill to do good.:rolleyes: I drew up a pool card of 144 squares and sold them for $5.00 each with the mill as the prize. Too my surprise I sold out in just over 2 hours:eek: raising $720.00 all of which went to the charity and made a very happy winner.:D I now have several orders for single and sets of mills for between $100.00 and $150 a piece depending on size and wood. These are the first to be delivered, walnut about 11” and 10.5” tall. Seems that poor little mill that no one wanted was destined for much more.;) Thanks for looking and have a wonderful holiday.
