Mahogany Salt and Pepper Mills

[Bernie Weishapl]

Well the kids said something back in June about getting a pepper mill to match there set of salad bowls I turned out of mahogany. So dad got his act together to turn his first salt plus the pepper mill out of Mahogany. The pepper mill is 9" tall and the salt mill is 8 1/2" tall. Seal-A-Cell and Arm-R-Seal. Even bought them a bag of sea salt for their mill.

Looks great. They turned out very well. I bet they are pleased with those!

[John Hart]

You do such nice work Bernie. Those are beautiful. They are sure to treasure them.

[Pete Jordan]

Wow Bernie!

I have yet to try one of those!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Very nice Bernie! Nice matching set with just enough height difference to tell which is which! Will make for a wonderful gift that I am sure they will treasure!

Great looking pieces. I remember my first and last pepper mill. it did not come all that good. Now that I have a VS lathe I should try again sisnce I have 5 more hardware mills to turn.
I burned the forstner bit really bad. The lathe did not go slower than I'd say 700 or 800 RPM and dry hard maple was provably to hard.
Thanks for sharing

Those are great Bernie, they'll go well with the salad bowls.

Thanks again. Robert I like the General Finishes. It is pretty much self leveling and buffs well after a week of cure.

They look great, Ernie. I need to try one of those some day.
