Salt and Pepper Mills

Below are a selection of the mills I turn. Those that have no price against them are designs I have turned which I have not necessarily put up for general sale. Some are quirky designs that I personally like rather than other peoples requested designs.

If you would like a mill turned to your own design in a wood of your choice (subject to availability) just email or call me to discuss your requirements.

Salt and pepper mills are available as a single mill or as pairs.
Where a price for a pair is shown just email me for an individual mill price.

Please note that the prices shown do not include postage and packing.

Other mills

I call this the pocket pepper mill and has a threaded base on it.
I based this on an idea I got from watching Henry Crabbe in the 1980s television series
"A Pie in the Sky". Henry had a silver pepper mill he kept in his waistcoat pocket but his didn't have the screwed base.
I thought his would leak pepper when it was in his pocket!!!

Left: a pair of 341ml salt & pepper mills with labels from Newfoundland

Right: a pair of Romsey Strongs beer bottle salt & pepper mills which are based on a full pint bottle.

The colour of the beer bottle cap differentiates between the salt and pepper.

The mills are based on Olive oil bottles similar to those found in your local supermarket. They are 8½" high

I call this mill the "Armless Man!" It has a strip of Australian red gum laminated through the spalted beech.
I started out by turning the laminated head on the top of the mill and with the concave part on the base I got 'a body', less arms....

This is one of the smallest working pepper mills I have made. Standing next to it is a USA dime.

The mill is 20mm high and made from masur birch
