native American themed mesquite coffee grinder

[lawrence]

I took the day off of work today and knocked out a quick coffee grinder for LOML. It is mesquite with a shellac topcoat.

I used my CNC (a carvewright) for the carving, but because of the small size of the pieces (and the fact that I did not fix my wood down square on my sled and the carves were not square to the edges) I used mostly hand tools (and a pin nailer) to complete the project.

The rabbets are not quite as clean as they would have been with a router, but it was kind of fun (and a heck of a lot safer) doing the short rabbets with hand tools,

Thanks for looking,

Lawrence
