One blank, one lathe, one mechanism kit. The fastest way to a gift that looks impossible.
| Part | Qty | T × W × L | Material | ✓ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mill body blank The main body. Bore diameters depend on YOUR kit — read its instructions. | 1 | 3" × 3" × 8" | Black Walnut | ☐ |
| Cap blank Cut from the same stick as the body so the grain runs continuously through the finished mill. It's a small detail people notice without knowing why. | 1 | 3" × 3" × 2" | Black Walnut | ☐ |
| Item | Qty | ✓ |
|---|---|---|
| Turning blank, 3" x 3" x 10" (Black Walnut) Walnut, maple, or cherry. Must be dry and free of checks — a crack in a spinning blank is dangerous, not just ugly. | 1 each | ☐ |
| Pepper mill mechanism kit (10") Ceramic or hardened steel grinder. Buy this BEFORE you drill — its spec sheet dictates every bore. | 1 each | ☐ |
| Food-safe mineral oil | 4 oz | ☐ |
| Sandpaper, assorted grits | 6 each | ☐ |
Overall cost: $$. Lumber varies by region, species, and season, so we give a band rather than a figure.
