I had a wild hair to make some of these this year. I never had made one before, but had the kits to make them for a few years and was waiting for the right time. Well this was the year.
A couple of years ago, I cut off a growth on the side of a maple tree. I was hoping it was a burl, but it wasn't. But it was full of curl and twisted grain. It was finally dry, so I found a good piece and started on making this pepper mill set.

I also had some cedar from the family farm that I had Mel stabilize for me.

They were fun to make. But I enjoy making calls a lot more than these.
