First, you say it’s not a club. Then, you say it’s a rolling pin. Make up your mind, will ya? ;)

Cool rolling pin though. I like it!

Nice.

I can see how this would be PERFECT for rolling.. 3-point turns would be a breeze

Nice project Grumpy. But I will leave things like this to you. I definitely do not want anything like this in my wife’s hands she is a true ginger.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

good looking what-cha-ma-call-it !

-- I made a cool back scratcher !!

Now can you combine a boomerang with a rolling pin so that you just roll it across the dough and it rolls back to you by itself? :-)

Don’t show that to Carleen!!!! She doesn’t need to add to her arsenal!! Except thank heavens it won’t return if she throws it.

My wife has an order in for one of those. Good work!

My missus wants to know if you have a design that does return, that way she can hit me over and over.

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

ha nice, maybe your jock name should be “Lumpy”....

I have a “traditional” rolling pin, and a tapered french one along the lines of this one – which is the only one that gets use (in the proper non-threatening kitchen sense that is)

It Looks kinda like something that comes out of the south end of a goose. :-)

Looks like it would work though!

Mrtrim – it’s finished with food safe tung oil. The silky oak is not as dense or oily as English oak so the lumps are smaller when you get hit.
Miss Debbie – 3 point turns are nothing for this roller, it will go just as fast in reverse.
CharlieM1958 – What a great idea, I don’t know why I never thought of that !.
Thos – If she throws it, it will be at close range. It won’t need to come back, although if Carleen tied some string to it she could pull it back for another throw. Now we shouldn’t give the ladies any ideas should we Tom.
RobG – As I say my wife swears by it. If you want the dimensions I send me a message.
Dadoo – I am working on that one. She could tie some string to it in the meantime.
GaryK – Now keep it clean there Gazza.

Great design Grumpy. No comment on the usefullness

Nice design. I tried a boomerang once. Had plans and everything. Well, I’m left handed and the aerodynamics are all screwed up when you throw it with the wrong hand. A boomerang that doesn’t come back, is just a stick.
Thanks for the welcome.
