Chris West

From the day I started woodturning I have always enjoyed turning to exact dimensions. I guess it's the outcome of a 5-year apprenticeship as an electro-mechanical engineer. The draughtsman and working to tight tolerances comes to the fore. This would explain the enjoyment I get from designing and turning salt & pepper mills in woods not found in mass production mills available in department stores and kitchen shops.

Salt & Pepper mills can be made from a variety of native UK and exotic woods of your choice, subject to availability. To give you an idea of the colours and grain of some of these woods. Click here
