Back on Jan 25, I posted these five pepper mills that I was working on.. I posted the unfinished mills, well finally got a finish on them...
These are turned from a product called Spectraply.. a laminate similar to Dymondwood, only not quite so expensive... the Spectraply is also used for gun stocks... I am currently talking with the manufacturer to try and be a representative/reseller in this area or maybe on the web.... we've just started talking so it may be a couple of months before I get anything set up - if I can even make it work... anyway here are the finished versions of the mills...
all finished with a sanding sealer, then several coats of wipe on poly...

I've also included a couple of natural wood mills that I was working along with the laminates... the first is African Rosewood (Bubinga), the second is from plain ol' American Elm... from a tree I cut behind my shop to save the roof of the shop... that tree dropped a 6" diameter x about 10' limb on top of my shop the week after it was completed... landed right on a rafter and drove it down about 5 inches and knocked a hole in my new tin roof.

Oops... forgot to add the pictures...
