not exactly the shape I intended
After doing a reasonable job of turning some small salt n pepper grinders I bought some crush-grind inserts and set about turning ones as big as my 600mm bed length would allow. I had drawn up a plan and although the actual salt grinder is only slightly different to the plan, it did get some interesting comments from my partner's 20+ year old daughters. It is jacaranda and 400mm (16") high. I am also going to turn the pepper grinder out of a darker wood but am wondering which will get the most use
cheers
Mick

Yes, it needs some ripples and grooves to give a better grip. The Wagner texturing tool, available from Vermec, would be good for that.

Nothing I make turns out looking like I planned, but it does turn out how it planned
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Dunno. Might cause a little hilarity at dinner parties using the black one.

I am wondering if there is an untapped market, although I am not sure what sort of retail outlet they would be sold in
