Know before you buy
No, this mill is designed exclusively for peppercorns. Using it for salt or other spices may damage the cast metal mechanism and void the artisan's guarantee.
You can adjust the grind by tightening or loosening the nut located at the top of the mill. Tightening it produces a finer grind, while loosening it allows for a coarser texture.
The wood is finished with a high-gloss shellac and carnauba wax, which protects it from moisture. Simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth after use; avoid submerging it in water or using harsh chemical cleaners.
Yes, the pear wood is repurposed from a local farm tree in North East Pennsylvania, giving each piece a unique history and character.
The internal working parts are made of cast metal, housed within a bronzed, copper-finished exterior. This construction ensures durability and a consistent grind over time.
