My daughter has been after me to make a salt/pepper mills combination for her MIL, i.e., a non-paid commission. Finally delivered it today by carrier pigeon.

Three board wenge glue-up pepper-mill on the left. Mahogany billet salt mill on the right. Finish was the same for both: Zinsser shellac sanding sealer cut 50%, multiple coats; Minwax rattle can clear lacquer, multiple top cots. From lacquer to Beall buffers - I didn't sand the finish out to increase the shine.
More work to do in applying John Keeton's photography tips. I just used the cell phone and left the old Canon 40D in the bag for this.
