Larry Bendfeld of Stony Plain, Alberta has done something remarkable here — taken Purpleheart, one of the most visually dramatic woods on the planet, and paired it with creamy Maple in a segmented pattern so precise it looks like it was designed by an architect. The deep jewel-toned purple against the pale warmth of the Maple is genuinely breathtaking in person.
The onion-domed top is pure artistry. Those flowing vertical stripes of Purpleheart and Maple curve and swell with the form as if they were painted on — but every line is a piece of wood, cut and glued and turned with extraordinary skill.
This is the kind of piece that stops dinner party conversation.
At the heart of each mill is a Crushgrind® ceramic grinding mechanism — the benchmark in quality, made in Denmark — ensuring these perform as beautifully as they look.
