Not a challenging project....unless I didn't do it.
Wifey has been hinting very hard, she wanted a rolling pin. Since I'm the guy that does the spinny thing and has the new lather, it finally dawned on me I should make a rolling pin. Looked up rolling pins on some project sites. This is near the recommended size. Except, recommended length for the actual rolling part is 22". That seemed pretty big to me. This one is 18". Diameter recommended is 3 1/2", seems big but I made it that. I know old rolling pins were generally larger than modern ones. Turned from Bradford Pear and rubbed with a beeswax finish. Couple burn lines to keep it from looking too plain. White spot on left handle is a worm hole I had to fill.
