So I cleaned up a little project I took on a few weeks ago. http://users.eastlink.ca/~dwilkins/grampmill.jpg And then some cocobolo pens. The wood doesn't smell great when you cut it, but these are probably some of the nicest pens I've made yet. http://users.eastlink.ca/~dwilkins/pens.jpg Taking orders for x-mas now 
I'm lucky I survived moms cooking :p

| Looks great, interesting projects. I've never worked with wood, it must be nice to work with something so 'natural'...if that's a good word to describe wood. |

| Very impressive Dave. Mary, I second that comment; I'm actually looking for a nice salt grinder myself and that one is very much to my liking. Do you think Dave might start a small business soon? |

No mom, that's Speardakes X-Mas present, made from Maple that was in his back yard. I did locate salt mill mechanisims, but I have yet to pick any up. I am prepared to sell a few items, mills and pens. If anyone is interested just pm me. I have a stash here, pens made of curly ash, cherry, purple heart, cocobolo, rosewood, walnut and some other types of wood. Pens I can make just about any color, also as a pen/mechanical pencil set. The mills I don't have as easy access to all types of wood for blanks. Most of you got to see the mill I made for dad, I think it works well in the kitchen. I'm lucky I survived moms cooking :p
