Shakers made from maple. Holes for salt and pepper in the letters and hole for filling in the bottom sealed with a cork. Yolks are painted with thinned acrylic paint. Made for our local club gift exchange.
I didn't want it to be too subtle to tell which is which. I know my wife complains that she can't tell our salt and pepper mills I made appart at first glance. They are different woods and the darker wood is the pepper.
If doing it again I might try to do the letters after painting so it looks cleaner. Too many holes might also make too much salt and pepper come out at once. I would rather have too little come out than too much at once.
