I post this IRISH ROLLING PIN with tongue in cheek. My Mother is of Irish descent, so I hope that any Irish members will not be offended with this piece.

In Australia we like to make jokes about different races of people and the Irish are probably the bearers of the majority of these jokes. They are made in the lightest intention.

The piece of wood is local building pine and the rolling pin is 2 inches square and about 18 inches across the handles.

Not surprisingly, it is not much good for pastry work but can inflict severe pain when one is sneaking home in the middle of the night from the pub.

Sweet. Where I come from, this is a Polish rolling pin. LOL watch your mother doesn’t use this on you.

Loved the story and that rolling pin makes a big statement when it comes to causing pain!
My mom had an old leather barber strop she used to inflict her message of disagreement, ouch!

Hey Bob, Neat rolling pin, being Polish myself, I know what Oldtool is talking about. They are great for making square cookies. See Tony, It’s like you told me, that one could drive a 16 penny spike in a board, and post it to Lj’s, and get some nice comments.. I do love the humor though makes this 10 inches of snow that we have laying around on the ground only seem like 9

Nice rolling pin, the moral of this story is to make sure you leave the pub before your feet begin to stutter so
bad that you can not sneak quietly into your own house. Thank you for sharing.

Need to make one for my daughter. The only reason she has a kitchen is because the house came with one!

Yep years ago in the 70s here in the states is was Polish folks who got all the ribbing. I remember back then I asked a friend if he wanted to hear a polish joke,he said NO I’m Polish.Then I said that’s alright I’ll tell you it very slowly :))
Sorry about that my Polish friends.
Fun project Bob,good job.
