Segmented Pepper Mill
This is a birthday present for my daughter-in-law.
Made from some offcuts and bits left from a batch of cutting boards as a result the pieces were already glued up in strips, so the end grain joins line up
instead of the overlapping long grain glue joins. To provide some extra mechanical strength I made a brass ring for the top.
The wood is silky oak, walnut, jarrah. Finished with shellac and EEE-ultra-shine.
Mechanism is crush grind.

Very nice Ray
Just one question for you, in the last picture it looks like there is a groove in the barrel, if this is so what's it for?
Cheers

Looks like a groove doesn't it, actually it's the rod that drives the grinder mechanism. Optical illusion.

now that you mention it, it is isn't it 
. Should have worked that out for myself, it's a good optical illusion, taken at just the right angle
