I turned a rolling pin for a freind, for his daughter from up north. A solid piece, with cool grains. Since this is for food, I sealed it with lard. After all, doe is full of lard anyway. The shine isnt as clear as with tung oil or urethane, I hav’nt used shellac but thats probably very good for shine.
The grooves showed up there before I knew it. What can I say, seems age has got my mind moving slower than my actions. But I trust Christ and my skill. Hallilua!

Roll some dough, beat back a mugger, roll some dough. Awesome piece! How’s that stuff to turn?

Its awesome Mot. Its very hard and heavy and still slightly green, great with a very sharp gouge or tools. Smells great and the heartwood smells great also. 400grit + and its translucent. kinda like 3d. This piece is dull looking compared to the real deal.

At least she won’t be using it on you. It is really beautiful, you did a great job. I think I would have used mineral oil instead of lard, which can go rancid jockmike

Hey, a freind suggested mineral oil and used it for a pin I turned for them. I’ll try that next time.

Great looking rolling pin.
You might try the (I think) European style next. It doesn’t have a handle, but it tapers a little from the middle to the end. You just roll your hand over the top of it, and the slight bow allows you to control the thickness of the dough easier.

Lard can go rancid mineral oil is best for wood that touches food.

Interesting design, I like it! Wouldn’t want to get bonked on the head with this rolling pin. Better not stay out too late guys!
