Welcome to M J Block Woodworking. We have a nice selection of handmade pepper mills, custom pepper mills, and one of a kind gifts.

One of my earliest memories is when I was 5 years old, helping my grandfather build a 21’ cabin cruiser boat in his garage.  There wasn’t a lot I could do at that age to actually help, but from that point on I’ve had a strong desire to create and build things out of wood.

I started out at the age of 14 or 15 doing my first remodel.  I turned a large 3 ½ car garage into a laundry room, bedroom, sewing room and family room.  From that point on I learned everything I could about building and remodeling homes.  Although this work was interesting and enjoyable, it didn’t satisfy my creative side.  So, for the past 45 years, I have been honing my fine woodworking skills.

For many years I built everything from tables, cabinets to brief cases, handmade pepper mills, and jewelry boxes.  In recent years I have discovered a real love for woodturning especially the handmade pepper mills.  I have always enjoyed working with contrasting wood colors, and the exotic woods of the world. When I discovered segmented or polychromatic woodturning I knew I finally found my creative outlet.

So, whether you are buying for youself, looking for handmade gifts, or just browsing, I hope you will enjoy looking at these one of a kind, exotic wood, handmade pepper mills.
