Definitely not Padauk - I'm very familiar with is work LOL!

Thanks, I can’t disagree the colour and grain are of that ilk

Can't tell you anything about this wood - found it under one of my bench's and decided I wanted bruised fingers so turned it square and bashed my fingers a few times as usual, decided not to leave the edge totally square as I like the way the sides developed into nice almost semi-circles anyway...

So this is my 2nd attempt at CrushGrind Mills, I've gone for a more contemporary design, and believe using segmenting accentuates the design.... The two mills use the following woods (NO BROWN IVORY!!) : Pepper: Black Walnut, Jatoba & Beech Salt: Tulip, Beech & Cherry Padster

Me too as I said I was just curious - like trying different things - seems like this is one for the scrap heap LOL

CrushGrind Salt & Pepper Mills, decided I'd try these after getting the mechanisms at a great price, needed a few jigs making as they were not as easy as I first thought they might be.... Top end mechanisms I think I've just about done them justice. The Salt is made with Ash & the Pepper is...

Sorry can't help here Stig...... BUT..... Watching with interest as I've never done this but curious about the answers.....

So I wanted to try something different, here I took a beech bowl blank and some panga panga and made a new blank, with a simplistic design an produced this bowl/platter.... Padster

Now this may or may not help, but I had had some small issues and ended up being recommended to look at Alex Snodgrass's video on YouTube. I watched it's simple fool proof and worked for me - but maybe because mine wasn't correct to start with, that said I have a foolproof methodology now so am...

@TRITON I have the Proxxon and have had it long enough that it was less than £200 when I bought it, I have no issues with it and it does everything I need - it takes standard blades, I use pinned but if I recall it might take pinless too. As with all Proxxon kit it's well built - I'd just check...

Small trinket box, pewter lid, made from a piece of Panga Panga.....
