Jon made these on the CNC mill here at the shop… And they’re fully awesome. rushdesign: These are the fun projects to work on. Salt and pepper shaker set in solid mahogany for Sarah Quinn, another Pratt Institute Industrial Design program student. Each is 1.5” across, ~3” tall. Fully machined on all sides. These are going to look even better once they are sanded and oiled. Mahogany is a joy to work with- unlike most woods, the grain does not tend to tear out and cause destroyed parts and massive frustration. It is still the material of choice for sand-casting patterns which need to be cheap, light, and easy to machine. Right now these are not available for sale, but as soon as they are I will post up a link. Also, if you need to make something like this, please don’t hesitate to email us ad design@rushdesign.net
