I was in Santa Cruz recently and stopped in a high end kitchen supply store. One thing that caught my eye was that they had rolling pins - probably hand made - for sale. I took some pictures with my cell phone so they're not very good.
Some were just solid wood - I don't remember all of them but let me say cherry, walnut, maple and maybe some others. Others were laminated so they were more decorative. But get this - they were asking $99 for the plain ones and $149 for the laminated ones. Imagine that! A piece of cherry turned in the shape of a large dowel for $100!!!
I didn't measure them but I'd guess they were 24" or less long and maybe 2.5" in diameter.
The first two pictures are of one rolling pin that was laminated. The third picture is of a bunch of them on a display stand.
You should make a few and offer them to some high end kitchen stores.
