Scraps

[Mike Golka]

This is a 12" tall mill I made from the cut-offs from the last batch of mills I made. Woods are Cherry, Maple, and Walnut. I use Crushgrind mechanisms. Some might call me frugal but I just cann't bring myself to through out any wood until its shavings.

[Roger Chandler]

Great use of scraps, Mike! Neat pattern you were able to put together with those as well.

[Paul Engle]

You ought to offer some kits , those look as good as the ones the gentleman from Isreal (that makes the funny sounding ones) does ...

[Brian Kent]

Very nice. I do not always like collages of woods. You did a fine job.

[Michael Poorman]

That looks great! Well done. I too have trouble throwing out the scraps...

[Allan Ferguson]

Impressive beauty. Allan

[Leo Van Der Loo]

Hi Mike :), that mill looks good, but how long is this going to stay together you expect ??, in the meantime it is a beauty :cool: :D

[Richard Madden]

I think you're giving the rest of a good reason to hang on to scraps! Great looking mill.

[Michelle Rich]

wild & colorful..keep using the scraps.

[Mike Golka]

Thank you all for the kind words. Leo, I have a similar mill I made about 8 years ago. It looks just as good today as when I first made it. With today's glues as long as you keep the grain going the right direction these things should last a long time.

[Doug W Swanson]

Love it! You should see my 'scrap' bin. I think some people call it a floor....

This winter my scraps get bigger and bigger and go into the wood stove. Very nice PG by the way.

[Vince Welch]

If those were just the scraps I would like to see what you made with the rest of the material. Crazy nice piece!

[Larry Cutlip]

I'm confused. What are scraps?

very nice. I have used cutoffs to make rolling pins, but I rarely plan a pattern, now that I see how impressive a result of what you just did, it will be on my agenda to do.
