We used contrasting woods-maple (for the sail shaker) and walnui (for the pepper shaker). Although the final cap length is I in., we found that a 6 in. long turning blank provided some comfortable working room for the lathe tools. This casy-to-make set of salt and pepper shakers came lo us courtesy of Brad and Sandy Smith, owners of Bradford Woodworking in Worcester, Pennsylvania. It's a project that will invite more than a few compliments from guests ai the dinner (able. Bradford's construction is rather clever. The cap fits into a hole bored in the lop of the shaker. It is held in place by a rubber O-ring, which fits into a groove in the cap. The fit is lighi enough lo hold the cap in place when the shaker is held upside-down to pour ihe contents. It's besl lo have the O-rings on hand before starling the project. In order to fit the groove in each of ihe caps, you'll want O-rings thai measure'/s in. thick by 7/s in. inside diameter by !

The shakers are made from oak. while ihe caps are made from Contrasting woods-maple (for the sail), and walnut (for the pepper). No doubt, other hardwood combinations will also look good. Before buying any wood, though, it's a gmnJ idea to check your scrap box, as it will probably yield all the stock thai you'll need. Make the Shakers Step I: Cut two pieces of stock lo size, each one measuring 1-Vs in. square by 31/4 in. long.
