I don't post much but still do a little lurking. Thought I would share this mill I just finished. It is stabilized with Cactus Juice (a lot of Cactus Juice!) and finished with an all natural and non-toxic hardwood oil finish.

Thanks for looking.

Very well done. I like the lines and, of course, the wood is spectacular. Did you stabilize it yourself?

Thanks David. Yes I did the stabilization. This wood had sat around for a long time and I started cutting it up to burn and then saw the colours! The stabilization had to have at least tripled the mass so it used a lot of Cactus Juice.

Thanks Daryl. I have a show this weekend and I'm hoping there is at least one person that agrees with you and opens a wallet!

Thanks Billy. Gotta go dig some more of this out of the shed and do some more stabilizing.
