Very few objects have this much going for them. The pepper mill is functional, crafted to fit in the hand, decorative and on display in the center of the family dining table. Plus, pepper mills make for excellent wedding, birthday or Christmas gifts. In this new class Alan will take students through the process of creating a quality pepper mill. Alan will discuss wood selection, critical measurements (based on the mechanism), drilling methods on the lathe, chucking the cap and base and suggested finishes. The goal in this two-day class is for each student to complete at least two pepper mills.
