Pepper Grinders

$60

These old fashioned pepper grinders are fun to make and are, to my taste at least, quite attractive. As an added bonus, they are getting quite high reviews with respect to the way they grind pepper.

I have been making from wood for as long as I can remember. I take a great deal of pride in my work and will not accept a commission if I am not entirely sure I can complete it to your satisfaction. ShopDog Turnery is a one-person, one-dog operation making all sorts of custom items, primarily lathe based. This includes bottle-stoppers, wine glasses (with glass or wooden bowls), platters and plates, bowls, boxes, and whatever else springs to mind.

In addition to lathe work I make various flat pieces; tables, specialty boxes, cutting boards and, again, whatever else springs to mind.

I make for the joy of the making, using sustainably harvested and reclaimed or historical woods exclusively.

Molly was the ShopDog, but is no longer with us. She did all the "RUFF" work in the turnery.

    I highly recommend Jim for your woodworking project. I only had a picture of an item from the 1920s to provide Jim …not only did he make an almost exact replica, he made a recommendation to use two different types of wood. I took his advice and my project turned out beautifully. Not only was it finished before the completion date Jim quoted, he is very professional, friendly, and reasonable in his pricing.

    I will definitely be a return customer when I need woodwork!

    Jim made me a beautifully designed pepper grinder. I told him what I want and he executed it nicely. He made it fairly quickly and the shipping was fast as well. My sister in law and her husband absoultely loved it. Would definitely buy from him again. Beautiful work.

    The wooden glasses are beautiful. I am very happy with them and I know my daughter will love them. They were a gift for her wedding shower. Unfortunately the shower was last week. Did not receive them in time. Had to scramble and buy another present for the shower. I did make it clear that I needed them by a certain date. Oh well. They are beautiful though.
