Pepper Mill - Finish Questions
Hi All,
I made my first pepper mills today out of Jacaranda and Blackwood I got from MM, they are 10 Inches high. It is a lot easier making an individual item and not trying to match them. The photo is from my phone so it is not the best.
I am hoping you could let me know what you normally finish your mills with? At this stage I have only sanded to 500g and EEE. I was going to use Shellawax however this is only going to protect the outside. Would Rustins DO be suitable? At this stage I am unable to look at a system for spraying NC lacquer. I am after a finish for the lathe or one that can easily be applied after turning.
Thanks in advance.

For the inside I use a few coats of UBeaut's Hard Shellac. Outside Shellawax is fine and easy to apply, but these days however I am using NCL for the good ones.

Nice work on those!!!
I think NCL, like neil uses, is a good tough finish. It is not over glossy, is tough and durable.
A WOP would also do a good job.

I always use Rustons DO for my grinders.Not sure how it would go over EEE though.

I use either Shellawax or Shellawax Glow on mine, don't use anything on the internals as I believe the salt/pepper will eventually wear whatever is used on the internals so why bother, never had any recalls or probs following this regime, apart from one which had a iffy gumline in it and I half expected it to eventually split of which I replaced at half price using the original mechanism cause they said they wanted it made from that piece of timber.

Thanks for all the replies.
I will use a test piece to see how EEE & DO work and also see how the Shellawax finishes.
I will not be able to look at a spraying system for NCL until the new year.
Cheers

You can buy NCL in spray cans.
