Fit for a Chef - Wood turning a pepper mill

Welcome back! In this video I'll be wood turning a pepper mill that was commissioned for a home Chef out of Canada. So it is quite fitting. I've never made a pepper mill before so this was a first for me. The customer wanted a darker wood burl with epoxy and a high gloss finish so I knew just what to do.
I sourced the elm burl from World Wide Burl on Instagram. Cast in Alumilite Amazing Clear with Eye Candy Micas. The white round blank is from an hdpe cutting board that was cut round on the circle jig on the bandsaw. I used card board and tuct tape for the mold and just glued it to the hdpe with hot glue.
I use various carbide cutters when turning and honing my skill at using bowl gouges on epoxy.
The finish is a CA finish that I used Starbond medium clear on. After the finish was applied it was wet sanded from 400-2000 grit then buffed.
The pepper mill kit I used in this turning was from Wood River. It comes with a 6, 8, 10 & 12" shaft but can be easily corrected for a custom fit just by cutting the shaft and hammering the end back flared.
Hope you enjoyed it!!!
Thanks for watching!
