| PEPPER MILL GALLERY |
| Hand turned special one of a kind Pepper Mills. I do occasionally turn other styles of mills, but my preference is to use the new ceramic crush/grind almost exclusively. The mills are turned in a variety of sizes ranging from 4 inches to as large as 14 inches. Each pepper mill is designed and turned to be a unique one of a kind item for the discerning decorator and chef. These mills are turned from both local native woods of the USA, exotic rare woods from around the world and my newest find, multi-color laminate blanks. This is my newest inventory of pepper mills. These are presented for your viewing and shopping pleasure. |
