6" Figured Silver Maple "Modern Ribbed" Peppermill (P98)

This wooden peppermill is made from the crotch section of an urban Colorado Silver Maple tree. The crotch section is where the main trunk splits off into two branches, and many times the best figure is found in this area due to the grain being "torn" in different directions. I made this mill in what I call a "modern ribbed" style. This modern look has a straight body with square grooves. I think a shape like this shows off the grain well, and the slim profile fits anyone's hand. The grooves add a nice grip and feel that is unique and easy to hold. The pictures show the mill from all 4 sides. The mill measures 6" tall x 2-1/4" diameter. I use a Deluxe Stainless Steel grinding mechanism which is durable, high quality, requires no maintenance, and is made in the USA. The mechanism will not corrode and has a lifetime guarantee. This mill should only be used with pepper, never salt. The details on my peppermills extend beyond just the outside. The bottom is finished to the same high standards and detail as the rest of the mill. The top turns smoothly and freely - you will never have a squeaky or binding top in any of my mills. The fit between the head and body is perfect - just as you would expect an heirloom should be! Use and care instructions are provided with every pepper mill.
