Anyone who bakes knows that a rolling pin is an essential tool in your kitchen. I've done a fair bit of pie making myself and have used almost every type of rolling pin out there. It wasn't until I found a French Tapered Rolling Pin that I truly loved rolling out the dough.

There is something about the way the pin feels in your hands, almost as if you can feel the dough, instead of holding on to the clunky handles of a traditional pin. I’ve been asked to make shorter rolling pins several times as a custom item, but decided to offer these for sale now.

This rolling pin is made out of Paduak, an exotic wood harvested in Africa. I love the reddish color of Padauk and how unique each piece is! The wood isn’t stained, this is its natural color. This was a solid piece of wood that I turned on my lathe.

Each pin will differ slightly from the others, as any handmade item will.

The approximate dimensions of this rolling pin are:

11.25" Long by 1.75" in diameter, it tapers towards each end and weighs approximately 9 oz.

Burned into one end is my initials along with a number. This number represents its place in the number of rolling pins I've made. For example "B.B. 2" means it's the 2nd rolling pin that I've made.

With proper care, these pins will last many years. After being turned on the lathe, they are sanded smooth, and turned on the lathe with Walrus Oil Cutting Board Oil and finished with B.P. Farms Wood Butter.

**As with any wood product, do NOT submerge or soak in water. This will cause the wood to swell and possibly crack and split. You can wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed. And rub with food grade mineral oil and beeswax to bring back the shine.**
