I found this long blank of Cherry downstairs today, and decided to make it round!
First I round the blank...........
Then layout where the handles will be using Robin's rolling pin as a guide.
With a coat of mineral oil, it is finished.
Robin's is on the top, mine on the bottom. Major differences are shape of handles and Robin's handles are hooked to a rod that passes through the pin's body, and spin freely. Mine is all one solid piece and you let it spin in your hands. We watched the movie Julie & Julia last night and the rolling pins Julia Childs used did not have handles, they were just a rounded, tapered stick. I suppose like all of my latest turnings these will all differ some, part of the uniqueness of handmade.
