Pepper mill

[Themackay]

The shape did not turn out as originally intended, had a couple of catches putting a ring on the bottom.

That's nice indeed, maybe it's just me or the angle of the picture but it looks a little top heavy ?

What's the wood and finish ?

 

[Woody]

Nice bit of turning and a good finish well done well salvaged

I think its just the angle of the photo
The wood is a yellowish wood very plain looking the guys at my woodturning club thought it was some type of Teak will post photo of bit later.
IT was used for lowering containers onto on an oil rig.
Sanding sealer and microcrystaline wax

A lovely piece of turning. Nicely done and well finished

My eyes deceive me I had to double take on the pic.
When I first looked I thought it was a cinema screen with a 9 foot dildo in front of it.
A better angle on the pic would help us to see exactly what you have created there, I am sure it's very nice.

I it Beech? Maybe!

Neil will be along shortly, he'll know for sure.

 

[Themackay]

Definatly not beech

 

[chas_41_uk]

Looks good
But as previously said, photographed from a different angle would have shown it off better

 

[Dalboy]

A better view of it will make it look better.

At least it did not end up looking like mine

Now where is the matching one to go with it can't have pepper without the salt:wink:

 

[Jim]

Looks good to me, and i wouldn't worry about the shape as you done a fine job after a your dig ins ..

.

Apart from the pollies that want to shag the public who else would want a 9 foot dildo.

 

[Themackay]

No one able to identify the timber

This piece looks like Ramin to me.
Can't be sure without seeing the end grain, and not sure why it looks so brown on the finished article.
