Usually the hardware will be printed with an S and P etched in the tops of the nuts that hold everything together.

Or you can add a holly and ebony band for salt and pepper respectively.

Or you can make one shorter than the other.

Or you can get a magic marker and write salt and pepper on the sides. :eek:

Use two different woods.

Walnut for the pepper mill, and maple for the salt mill makes a nice combination.

Later,
