Amalgamated Custom  

My As-I-Like-It Rolling Pin

  Going with the theme of if you can't find it, make it is exactly what I did.  This unfindable rolling pin is an amalgamation of walnut, cherry, maple, mahogany and sapele.

Thelma's Salt Bowl

  My mother-in-law so loved our salt bowl, she asked me to make one for her.  This, too, is an amalgamation of Cuban mahogany, maple, walnut, sapele and cherry.

  Rebekah's is a sweetheart of a friend. Hell, I consider her my sister.  So I didn't know what to get for Hanukkah.  This came to mind and she loved it.  The saltmill (left) is lacewood, the peppermill is sapele.

Rebekah's Hanukkah Gift

A maple mortar & pestle for my family in Spain.  They had a rather substandard one that was dysfunctional for smooshing garlic.  This one is going to smoosh garlic effectively until the end of the universe.

This is my first attempt at a salt bowl.

It's layered sapele, maple and cherry.
