This is Not a Boomerang

ok grumpy , so your supplying weapons to the other side !! lol looks good though , what do you finish it with ? im still a little skeptical about the oak , i think ill do mine out of rubber just in case lol great project grumpy

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

3 point turn ??? sure earlobe , shoulder blade and kneecap . with one shot !! lol

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.

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.

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 cool (in a lethal kind of way).

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.

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.

You know what they call a boomerang that doesn’t come back? A stick. Looks like that’s what you got there. Nice stick though. Sure fooled your wife hu? Maybe I’ll try it on my girlfriend, she’s always after me to make her up something. What’d you call it?, a rolling pin, right, gotcha.

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

It’s a modified French style rolling pin – it’s favored by pastry chefs because you can rapidly and easily change the direction of roll. The taper isn’t normally that extreme however…
