Would you like a little pepper there sir?:rolleyes:
I just finished reading some of the most recent postings for today and there is some really high quality turnings being shown. I am afraid my little pepper mill is going to turn things down a notch.:o Oh...I think it looks good but it certainly doesn't compare to some of the recent postings I have seen today.
I didn't have a chunk of wood large enough so I laminated two pieces of maple between two pieces of cherry and then turned it with the ends off center. I went off center into the thickness of the laminations but I think I should have gone off center into the width. I saw one of these on here a couple of weeks back and thought I would try the same. I should have gone back and looked at the example one more time before I cut wood.:o
Stats:
Material - Cherry & Maple Wood
Grinder - 10" US Mfr. cut to 9"
Length - 9-5/8" to top of chrome thumb nut.
Diameter - 2.25"
Finish - Currently 1st coat of at least 2 Watco Natural (will eventually be waxed and buffed)
