As you can see by the pictures, this beauty has a LOT going on. The figure in the wood is fanstastic. Everything from burl to curl. Looks great in a well lit room. Made with a ceramic Crush Grind mechanism, you can grind either pepper or salt. It stands at just over 11" and will look great on your table or countertop. All of my mills carry a lifetime warranty for normal use, and can be cleaned with a wet sponge or towel. There are seven coats of finish on it, so it's sure to last a long time.
