This wooden peppermill was made from an urban Colorado Siberian Elm tree. There was a small knot running through the side that had a few voids. I filled the voids with bright Brass metal powder. I did this to show off the knot, but also I think the Brass color goes well with Elm. The pictures show the mill from all 4 sides.
The mill measures 8" tall x 2-5/8" diameter at its widest point.
I use a Deluxe Stainless Steel grinding mechanism which is durable, high quality, requires no maintenance, and is made in the USA. The mechanism will not corrode and should last a lifetime. This mill should only be used with pepper, never salt.
The details on my peppermills extend beyond just the outside. The bottom is finished to the same high standards and detail as the rest of the mill. The top turns smoothly and freely - you will never have a squeaky or binding top in any of my mills. The fit between the head and body is perfect - just as you would expect an heirloom should be!
Use and care instructions are provided with every pepper mill. A plastic funnel is also included to help when filling.

Why buy from Colorado Kitchen Heirlooms? In a word: Quality.
I've been trained by some of the world's best professional woodturners, and that training shows in the quality of my work. I teach classes and give demonstrations at woodturning clubs and woodturning symposiums on what it takes to make a quality peppermill. My mills are beautiful, functional, and will last for years. You can't buy this kind of handmade quality in the store. If deals you were able to compare my mills to others, you would immediately see and feel the difference. I take great care to ensure the shape is pleasing and the curves are smooth and flowing from top to bottom. The finish is smooth to the touch. The fit between top and bottom is perfect and the top turns effortlessly. Every mill has the wood species and my name burned into the bottom recess.
All items are handmade by me. My peppermills give you an heirloom that you can use daily, and then pass down throughout your family.
