Turned Salt cellars with spoon
I made a number of these a while back but thought I would show them here as I'm thinking about making more.
The first one is maple with a purple heart top and spoon. The second one is apple wood and the third shows the assembly. The lids have a 1/4" brass rod for a pivots that fits in a hole in the base lined with a 1/4" brass tube. There is a rare earth magnet embedded in the rim opposite the pivot that holds the lid closed. The texturing on the top band was made with a Dremel and a narrow round burr. The spoon is also held in place by a small magnet. The cup on the spoon was hollowed out with a Dremel tool using a round burr. They are finished with General's salad bowl finish. Cooks love them.

Not a "bowler", but that spoon makes it worthwhile.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

A fine looking setup!
Love the thought you put into integrating that salt storage and dispensing system!

Very nice Les, I missed this, but you mentioned it in Eric's cellar post. I love this design and I think I have to make one.

The trickiest part is aligning the pivot pin so the top and bottom match up

I like yours better Les, I did not come back to this before making the one i did. I really like the pivot you did there.
