Finally I got one of these done. This is Spalted Walnut with a Maple finial and cup.

very nice! Now I have to make one too.

[Rasmus Petersen]

Me to :-) Anybody have any good plans for making this fella... ??

[Grant Davis]

The plan was in Wood Magazine about a month or two ago.

[David Newson]

Your effort was worth its a nice piece, and unusual for my side of the pond and have not seen that design or similar before.

Thanks for posting the full series of pictures. Sweet project.

[Rasmus Petersen]

Living on the other side of the pond makes keeping all the mags pretty expensive.. so if anybody has plans for making this i would much appriciate it :-)

[Bernie Weishapl]

Great looking holder Jon. I have made a bunch as they are pretty popular with the salt/pepper grinders especially if they match.

[Paul Douglass]

That is really nice. I am in the process of making one but had to order a couple of tools to do it, like a drill chuck for the lathe.

The article is in March 2008 Wood magazine. They had a real good 3 part video on their website on how to make it. I watched it last week but can't find it now.

Thanks Jon, don't know why I couldn't find it. Hope mine turns out 1/2 as nice as your.

These are such cool projects. Good job, and the contrast between body and finial is really nice.
