I find peppermills one of the most rewarding turning projects! A useful project that actually has a useful purpose.. :)235529235530

Very nice!

The veneer was 25 thousands thick...sold in sheets...inserted between each segment and between each layer.I,m not sure the kind of wood the veneer was..

It,s been awhile..I should have said...
It,s fiquired soft maple and dyed black veneer...516 pcs. And obviously still on the chuck...The finish takes forever...hence.. "still on the chuck"

I haven,t posted in quite some time but recently began lurking again..It,s a 12 in. tall peppermill.The picture makes it look shorter and fatter than it is....226484

Yes,I guess it is a form of segmenting..And yeah,you cut apart a single board and glue it up..It took the same amount of wood to make the bowl as it did to make the lid.
It measures 8 in...

I,m still learning the resizing part. :)

Nice form and finish...I,ll bet with those outside curves it feels good in the hand.

There is no way I can pick a favorite..Everyone is beautiful.

Very beautiful as usual...

The idea should get as much credit as the execution.Beautiful work and great "out of the box" idea.

Oneway 2436...I like..

It all works together for me.The pedestal and finial really flow..I like the heft(fiquiratively)of the base pedestal as it transitions to the delicate finial. Very pleaseing to my eye.

I,ve worked with the highway dept. here in Akron and go out for all bad weather.We closed 8 roads sunday night because of fallen trees and power lines.It,s the worst I have seen short of the blizzard...

The shape is "different", but appealing to me.To my ametuer eyes the construction looks great!

A huge THANK YOU...More options are always better but with this I,m off and running.I beleive I have seen this referred to as "stick work." But a google search doesn,t give much.
Again, Thank...

I am by no means a authority but I have made quite a few lidded boxes.
Wood movement is very important when making two pieces fit together so I make sure the wood I,m useing is stable and I,ll...

And hopefully this pic will help show how i am attempting alignment AND centering on my first attempt.

I am attempting my first segmented form so I can appreciate the skill,time and effort involved.Very nice work !!
As far as Mr. Tibbetts work...I,m in awe.

Simply beautiful...And it is time..Christmas isn,t far off..

The wild finial and the simple form of the box compliment each other nicely!
