Maple, Walnut Pepper Mill, Hand-Turned
This mill was made using Maple and Walnut glued together into a block and then turned on a lathe. Often when I turn, the wood tells me what the shape should be and I just follow along; this mill was one of those times. It looks a little different from every direction. The mill stands 6 1/2" tall and is about 2 1/2" in diameter. The wood was finished using a butcher block wax and oil mix. Thanks for looking Mark..

Crosscut Joinery
Crosscut Joinery stems from a strong artistic family background and desire to create. I’ve been designing and building wood products both professionally and as a hobby for more than 20 years. I truly enjoy all aspects of woodworking – from choosing the right wood for a project through all the necessary steps to create a high-quality, one-of-a-kind item.
I’m inspired by the simple and true lines of the Shaker style but do not limit myself to one type of design. I find that I build what interests me, whether it is a blanket chest made from rare sapele wood; a Shaker side table of walnut; or memory boxes built from interesting finds in my lumber stack. These days I am able to build what I like -- I hope you like it as well.
