That's really cool!

Very creative, a unique rolling pin.

Oh nice. That is a simple but very nice design.
Well done.

Ingenious! Did you make more than one?

Ingenious! Did you make more than one?

Thanks and... Not yet. I've been racking my brain for some new items to add to the product line. I had made a Cherry French Rolling Pin for my wife over 15 years ago. She loves it. Decided to give it another go with this little twist option. 20+ years ago, I had made pen barrels with that design. Thought I'd give it a bigger upgrade. They seem to be welcomed, I'll see what I can do to make a variety of them with different species.

Very cool! I’ll buy one—or trade a hollow form . . .

 

[daniscool]

That is very cool.

That's a nice looking rolling pin, John! What dimensions did you start / end with?

Thanks for sharing the process with the jig!

Jon, very cool looking rolling pin.

On the jig, why don't you put a runner on the bottom near the fence. That way, you won't need to measure when using it. ............. Nubs
