2" square blanks: Great for smaller salt and pepper mill grinders, salt and pepper shakers and and mid-sized projects that need more substance. This size gives you added strength and more shaping freedom while still being manageable on the lathe.
3"+ square blanks: Built for short salt and pepper grinders and mills of all kinds — especially when you want a bold profile, thicker walls, or a more substantial finished piece. The extra mass gives you design flexibility and visual impact.
♦ Beginner-friendly woods: if you're just starting out, these woods are easy to work with: birch, cherry, sapele, walnut, soft maple, poplar, redwood
♦ Intermediate: If you're ready to flex your turning muscles into a new challenge we recommend maple (birdseye, curly, spalted), oak, roasted ash, yellowheart, canarywood.
