The body of these pieces is quilted big-leaf maple from the west coast of BC, Canada. Each is finished with a tung oil/polyurethane blend and then buffed with the Beall System. The spheres on top are turned from BC paper birch wood, stained with India ink and finished with rattle can lacquer. The mill has a CrushGrind mechanism and the shaker has a stainless steel top and a rubber bung in the bottom.
