This burled Maple and Ebony really pop in this version of my striped peppermills. The Jatoba, which is a beautiful orangish-brown hardwood helps accent the other colors. There are 8 coats of hand rubbed lacquer on this one, so it's VERY durable. It's built with the highest quality stainless steel grinding mechanism available and comes with a lifetime warranty. It's just over 11" tall. The mechanism can be changed to a salt grinder upon request.
