Here is some other new items. On the left there is a salt and pepper shaker set from a beautiful piece of maple burl that I have been holding onto for a few years now.
The other pieces are mini pepper mills (or you could use them for salt as well.) The one on the left of the three is bubinga, then jobillo and then a piece of curly maple that has been dyed with yellow, blue and turoquise giving it a green apperence with a few bluish highlights. The picture really does not do it justice. It has a lacquer finish with a carnuba wax over it to help bring out the color.
I do have one more style of pepper mill which I need to make. If these sell well, then there will be more on the way.
Salt and pepper shaker set - $ 25
Mini pepper mill - $30
Update: salt and pepper shaker set - SOLD
Two pepper mills on the right - SOLD

New stuff! - Wedding goblets
So here is a new item. A wedding goblet. It has two captive rings and the stem is spiral cut.
One of these is going to my brother and sister-in-law to be (part of their wedding gift) the other (pictured right) is for sale. The lighting makes it look like they are leaning but they are straight. The wood is maple and the finish is food safe (walnut oil, beeswax and carnuba wax) but they are really a show piece.
Captive rings are turned from the same piece of wood as the goblet. They are turned before the stem has been completed so they will never come off the piece.
I will be making more but the types of wood is limited since only close grain hardwoods will work with the captive rings and spiraling the stem.
Wedding goblet - $50
