Antique Style Pepper Mill and Top Wind Salt Mill Set in Spalted Grapevine

This set includes a FREE matching spalted grapevine wine stopper. This antique-style peppermill mechanism is a wonderful working handmade peppermill. It makes for great conversation around the dinner table. It features cast metal working parts with bronzed housing. Peppermill size: 3″ x 3″ x 8″ tall; Salt mill size: 3″ x 3″ x 4″. This peppermill has one of the best ranges of grinds in any peppermill mechanism I have assembled. See additional photos of fine to coarse grind and everything in between. The peppermill grinder is fully adjustable from fine to coarse with the top flat nut. The matching salt mill features a ceramic grinder mechanism with an adjustable top nut. Tony, my cousin, harvested this spalted grapevine for me from his backyard in Long Island, saving it from the landfill or being burned. I’ve never seen a grapevine this large. Fortunately, I had enough wood to make this spalted peppermill set. Spalting is simply a term that describes the process of decay in nature. Once the wood is dried, it becomes stable, and the black Zone-lines remain indefinitely. The beautiful grain pattern is unique and cannot be reproduced… a truly one-of-a-kind piece. I personally guarantee your satisfaction with this set. To maintain the beautiful high gloss finish on these mills, I recommend an automotive-style paste wax with carnauba. The wax not only cleans but protects. (Please note: This antique-style peppermill should not be used to grind salt.) The mill set you see in the photo is the mill set you will receive. Also included in this set is a Free matching wine stopper made from the same spalted grapevine stock.
