Well here is the rolling pin after all of the help everyone gave me. I am more pleased with the alignment of the ellipses. I also got input from a pastry chef who indicated he preferred a more flat center section to help keep the dough a consistent thickness. This has a couple of applications of mineral oil, for a finish.
For those who requested a blog on the cutting procedures, I am in the process of taking pictures and creating the write up. I hope to post it within the next couple of days (I just know you are all a quiver with anxious anticipation).
Thanks everyone for the help and encouragement.
Lew

Lew, at my advanced age, I really don’t quiver that often. But the beauty of your pin goes without saying. Nice job. I can hardly wait to see your process blog.

“all a quiver” is a little strong. Still, I am as moved as I can be about seeing how this was built. I look forward to your upcoming project blog. Beautiful rolling pin.

Lew stopped by my shop today and gave me one of the beautiful rolling pins.
It’s better in person that on the web. Especially when I have one in my hand.
Thanks Lew.
