>My oldest son (14) and I took a peppermill class at our local Woodcraft last night. It was a lot of fun and well worth it. Of course, I had to pick up some lathe accessories so I could now make them at home...

>Could a pepper mill be made octogon shaped instead of round and requiring a lathe?

If so...what type of wood would (wood would..funny) you recommend?

Lastly, what source would you use to find the peppermill parts?

Any wood would work just fine. W used mahogany last night, but will be turning more from cherry and maple for the next ones.

The parts can be picked up at Woodcraft, Rockler, Penn State, etc.
