    Default Pepper Grinder

    I recently made a Ball turning attachment, Along with Neil (dai sensei ) had a chance to try it out today , I had to modify my design for the pepper grinder top as the radius of the tool didn't allow for my usual style. Any way heres some pic's of the finished item , sanded ,eee'd ,a couple of coats of "Glow" and then buffed with canauba wax. The timber was a gift ,supposed to be some kind of fruit tree, I managed to leave some bark as a feature , The height of the body is 240mm and the ball dia is 60 mm same as base dia, cheers ~ John
    G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!
