This pepper mill, #782, is an 18" pepper mill that I entered in the Utah State Fair in 2007. I won 1st place with this beauty! The species of woods used in this pepper mill are: Goncallo Alves, Mahogany, Oak, Purpleheart, Redheart, and Walnut woods.

This pepper mill, #377, is one I created as an experiment and then I entered it in the Utah State Fair in 2004 and won Best of Show with it! This is made out of six species of woods and has a lot of different laminations in it. Where most of the other pepper mills I've done have a two-step glueing process, this mill has a five-step glueing process. The species of woods used in this pepper mill are: Cherry, Holly, Lyptus, Maple, Oak, and Padauk woods. I've begun calling this type of a salt mill and pepper mill an "abstract mill."

#280 is a 12" pepper mill, my wife picked out the woods so they are all of the same color family - tints of reds and browns. I entered it in the Weber County Fair in 2004 and won First Place! This is made out of four species of woods and has a lot of different laminations in it as you can see in views 2 and 4. The species of woods used in this pepper mill are: Wenge, PurpleHeart, Mahogany, and RedHeart woods.

This pepper mill is one of my favorites and was the first pepper mill I entered into a competition, it is #118. I entered it in the Utah State Fair in 2003 and won First Place with it! This is made out of 5 species of woods and has 10 different laminations in it. The species of woods used in this pepper mill are: Aromatic Cedar, Rosewood, Lyptus, Maple, and PurpleHeart woods.
