If you have an unused baseball bat in your home, consider turning it into a salt and pepper shaker just like Keith Palmer did. Palmer used an experimental baseball bat to create a wooden salt and pepper shaker. The bottom of the salt and pepper shaker is made of wood taken from the baseball bat while the bottom stopper is made from a water bottle cap.
