Quilted Mahogany Dressing Table
Apr 16, 2018
Welch made this dressing table from quilted mahogany he bought in 1985, which he says is extremely rare wood from a tree pulled from a ravine in Belize in the 1960s, and featured in FWW #54. “The price in 1985 was $30 per board foot, very expensive in those days. I purchased more than I could afford. To date I have made three pieces from the wood: a chest of drawers, a hope chest, and this dressing table and seat.”

CrushGrind Pepper Mill Mechanism
Matt Monaco designs his pepper mills to accept the CrushGrind mill mechanism, which he likes because it doesn’t require drilling through the top of the mill’s cap and having hardware exposed on top.
