This is one of our most popular color combinations that we have. If you are looking to add some color in your kitchen or on your table, this will do it.

The wood starts out as 49 layers of 1/16" Birch veneer that have been dyed and glued together. In the case of this mill, there are five colors which are brown, white (natural), green, pink and blue repeating over and over. The wood used to make our mills has been sustainably harvested and the dyes and glues used are water based. All of which makes it better for the environment.

I start the creation process by putting the wood onto my lathe and drill the head and body. Once the drilling is complete I then shape the head and body using hand tools and turning everything by eye on my lathe.

The mill is approximately 2 5/8" in diameter at the base and tapers to about 1 3/8" in the mid section and stands 8 1/2" tall. The shape is modeled after a lady dancing. Starting from the head, shoulders and waist area, all the way down to the beads or rings that I've turned near the bottom to be like the folds of her dress. The mechanism used is Stainless Steel and made here in the US. The finish on the mill is a food grade polymerized tung oil and a wax mixture which gives a nice luster to the mill. So it's safe to use on your food and cleans up easily. Care instructions are included.

Although you can look at the top of the adjustment knob for an S or P to see whether it is salt or pepper I use the beads/rings near the bottom of the mill to help you tell the difference as well. If the mill has three beads/rings it is a pepper mill and if the mill has one bead/ring it is a salt mill.

You are placing an order for this pepper mill. You will not receive this exact one. There will be subtle differences from the one pictured because they are all one of a kind mills.
