Antique Style Pepper Grinders

These antique style pepper grinders are fully functional and make excellent gifts. Each one is hand turned on the lathe before being given a generous top coat to help it keep its shine for years.

The dark black lines you see can be created in several ways. One way which has proven very successful is to use copper. While on the lathe we turn up the speed to a high rpm and then using copper wire with wooden handles we pull against the wood. After a few seconds the copper heats up and burns the wood. The end result is a nice, even, permanent black design.

Keep Saturday July 8th open on your calendars and come see ES&S at the PA BBQ Fest! Happening on the grounds of the Leesport Farmer’s Market. Pit masters will be showing off their best creations. Don’t forget the breweries, crafters, etc that will be onsite to keep you having fun.
