Far from pretty
My first Salt & Pepper grinders in Tassie Blackwood. They don't quite match, there is a bit of tear out on them, the finish isn't great but I like them
. I have a couple of nice bits of Blackheart Sassy which will become grinders and another nice piece of figured Myrtle that may become a set too. These were just a test run and a lot of lessons were learnt
CorbsIt's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

They are a lot better than my first set of grinders
I like the shape, but prefer Crushgrind mechanisms, so you don't have the knobs.Neil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new

Thanks guys
... the next set will be crush grind, but didn't see the point in experimenting with a $25 grinder when I could learn on a couple of $8 ones
Major lesson learned from this experiment is always buy the longest grinder and shorten if need be
It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

I like them
I always think there should be a slight difference between them so you can identify salt and pepper without labelling them
Cheers Rum Pig
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
