This was my first attempt at salt and pepper mills. I had two laminates made up (can't remember what they were originally for), so I cut them on diaginal, reguled them and then squared them. I also had the mechanisms laying around for the last year and never had gotten too them.
7 inches by 2 inchs. Laminate of maple, cherry and one of the mahogony like woods. Finished with one coat of salad bowl finish and buffed with wax.
I like them a lot. Have enjoyed reading about your (mis?)-adventures in creating them. I've been thinking about trying some for Christmas gifts, Maybe next year. I have to get my new raised bed planters finished in the garden before the soil freezes.
