agreed, I don't like the top. but you can't please everyone, and I recognize the good quality work that went into it. Clearly someone liked it since it sold.it doesnt appeal to me. Something looks wrong at the top. But I am no design expert either. Someone liked it though.
I think your analogy is accurate Phil. Tried something different on the lathe and it took almost three months to sell the one I made.Your others, as you showed me, are top dispense which has the advantage of not leaving pepper grindings on the table. Curious as to why you are shifting to bottom dispense.
I am leaning towards your wife's grade, sorry
