I haven,t posted in quite some time but recently began lurking again..It,s a 12 in. tall peppermill.The picture makes it look shorter and fatter than it is....226484

[Ted Calver]

Very cool Dave. Welcome back!

[Eric Gourieux]

Dave,
That is a nice peppermill. Great form. What is the wood?

[Dave Stoler]

It,s been awhile..I should have said...
It,s fiquired soft maple and dyed black veneer...516 pcs. And obviously still on the chuck...The finish takes forever...hence.. "still on the chuck"

[Roger Chandler]

this certainly looks to be segmented.........the dyed black veneer...........how thick is it and how did you get the dye to go all the way through? Is the veneer maple as well?

[Dave Stoler]

The veneer was 25 thousands thick...sold in sheets...inserted between each segment and between each layer.I,m not sure the kind of wood the veneer was..

[Steve Schlumpf]

Welcome back Dave! Very interesting peppermill! Has a sort of castle effect! All that maple looks great!
