Purpleheart & Spalted Maple Pepper Mills

Hand-turned pepper mills in purpleheart, banded with spalted maple and edged in braided cord.

Purpleheart comes off the lathe a fairly ordinary brown and turns purple as it meets light and air. The band in the middle is spalted maple, which gets its dark lines from fungus working through the wood before it was ever cut. Braided cord covers the seams.

Two shapes so far: tall and waisted, or short with a round cap. They look better as a pair, which works out, because salt exists.

About the picture: that's an AI render. The real one sold before anyone took a decent photo of it. We can make you another.
