Fine spinel powder was prepared from the Mg-Al double alkoxide synthesized using magnesium powder, aluminum foil and sec-butyl alcohol. This powder was compared with powder prepared by mixing two commercial alkoxides. The spinelization was started at 50$0^{circ}C$ and was almost completed at 100$0^{circ}C$ with a good crystallinity in the double alkoxide system. In mixed alkoxide system, homogeneous spinel powder was not obtained and MgO existed as a second phase because of solubility and hydrolysis rate differences of two alkoxides. The relative density of specimen prepared by double alkoxide was 99% and specimen prepared by mixed alkoxide was 95%. The modulus of rupture of specimens prepared by double alkoxide and mixed alkoxide was 49.9kg/$ extrm{mm}^2$ and 41.6kg/$ extrm{mm}^2$, respectively.
