Osolnik inspired salt/pepper mills.

[philip labre]

I needed a break from coring so decided to turn a couple of mills. I really like this style with clean simple lines. Walnut crotch and spalted curly maple. I tried a CA finish on these but may not do this again because of the expense and I'm not sure how it would work with more detail. They have Crushgrind mechanisms. There is a slight height difference but not as exaggerated as in the pic. Comments and suggestions always welcome.

Philip, those are really, really very nice! Beautiful wood, too.

Philip - wish you would have brought these to last night's turning meeting - they both look great! Very nice form - beautiful woods! Seriously - very nice work!

[philip labre]

Thanks Steve, but, I couldn't bring them last night because I just turned them this afternoon.

Very nice Philip.

Great looking Walnut. Nice shape on both.

Wow those are very nice looking! I need to try my hand at these one of these days, my salt grinder is broken and need a new one anyway.

[gary Zimmel]

Great looking mills Philip.

Those pepper mills look great. Nice job.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Those are extremely nice and as is the wood. Really well done.

Simple forms really let the grain in the wood show. Great job!

[Michelle Rich]

I adore these..I esp. like the spalted maple one

[bob svoboda]

Very nice mills. The wood shows itself off well in both pieces.

[Ron Stadler]

I have to agree Philip that the simple form of these looks really nice, and finish looks great.
