Made a gift set from Blackwood and Padauk. Crushgrind mechanism. The stand is made of a 'natural edge' brown mallee. Grinders finished with 3 layers of OSMO oil, the stand - with 'pour on gloss'.

Thank you gentlemen, I am quite happy with the outcome - probably the best of my grinders so far in terms of look and nearly identical shapes. The finishing takes 3 days, but it is well worth it, very durable, and you can "feel the wood". I have a set of grinders at my home that I finished the same way - some of the guests like just holding them in the hands when not even using them:)

Ilya as a pair they look great on the table neatly housed in the stand a wonderful departure. The shape is beautiful together both finished in a tasteful way. Thanks for the post and showing your best so far IMHO grinders you have made.
