Basically posting this because of the "Do you use salt thread", as it's somewhat adjacent to that.
I have a lot of hobbies and am currently being paid by my old employer to not work at a competitor, which leaves me with way too much free time.
I'd say my main hobbies currently are mini painting (Warhammer and custom minis), 3D printing and cooking. Cooking is what takes up a lot of my money though, as I spend entirely too much on gadgets and custom woodworking, such as salt cellars.
First three pictures are the first salt cellar I had made by DiamondWoodbyDon (was an Etsy shop, but he's moving away from Etsy). If I remember correctly it is walnut, ash and some cherry.
The second set of pictures is the second salt cellar I had made and is made with Purpleheart, cherry and ash; it is about the same size as the other one, but basically a different hinge and top (though I prefer the first one other than the hinges).
Last three attached pictures are a jewelry box my girlfriend and I got for my mom made out of purple heart with custom stained glass (the wood worker also does stained/blown glass, and is a chemistry professor in Maryland). Figured I'd add it to show off other work the woodworker has done.
The following link had some large images so couldn't attach them, but this is the yakumi box I had made. They're basically just for prepping and organizing the ingredients you are preparing when you are cooking. This is a more standard version that is common in some professional kitchens: https://www.korin.com/Stainless-Yakumi-Pan_11
It is primarily made out of an Ambrosia Maple (we wanted to do Spalted Tamarind or Spalted Maple, but spalted wood is in short demand, and the pandemic has made it even harder to find). It's a large container, with 6 inner boxes with separate lids, and 8 spice trays and a lid for the outer container.
I'm planning to have a smaller yakumi box set made as these came out a bit larger than I had intended. He's also planning to put the spice trays as the lid of the inner boxes.
