Behold the Spiceship! (Maple Rocket sitting in front.) What may at first glance appear to be a tiny rocketship is in reality a finely honed, hand-powered machine of impeccable ergonomics, engineered to reduce peppercorns to their chosen fate - the powdery dust perfect on poached eggs, the coarser pungent grounds for saucy sauces, or the cracked spice bombs of flavor preferred in the salad bowl. This Spiceship is first and foremost a sleek sculpture of machined maple wood from the forests of Vermont. Though the fins are stainless steel and the nosecone anodized aluminum, where in the known universe can one purchase a wooden rocket? Based on the aerodynamic theories of the master craft builders of the Oort Outer Moons, Brancusian geometry and design studies of old comic books, this shape is the idealized spiceship - perfect in the hands, graceful to the eye, wind tunnel tested, containing the world's finest mechanism (literally) with a lifetime warranty, covetted by all, built by hand. To grind, grab the Spiceship body in one fist and the nosecone in the other and twist back and forth vigorously. To precisely tune the grind twist the small tail cone on the bottom moving the turbine engine in or out. Love your Rocket. It will serve you well. These are fully tested in the rigors of restaurant use as well as the kitchens of TV chefs and were the recipient of a Niche Design Award in 2001. The real deal folks. Looks nice in sets too - the Armada concept. When design books review the past hundred years one will find a Spiceship. For a salt companion try a solo Zoomee or a pair of Croozers.
