Now all you need is the biscuit dough! Looks like a good job, though the pic is a bit dark.

How did you manage to keep the pin cylindrical? I've been asked to make one, but am terrified of making ridges along the length...

[Allan Ferguson]

Use calipers and a good straight edge. Establish diameter at the ends first. Line up your tool rest with the late bed ways to help keep things straight, fine tune with sanding and regular checking with the straight edge. The roller portion is 12" long.

Allan that's a great rolling pin! I like the design of the handles.

[Ted Calver]

Nice one Alan..and plenty of clearance for knuckles on the handles. Well done!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Really nice roller Alan and really like the handle.

[Baxter Smith]

Nice looking rolling pin Allan! Made a little one for my daughter almost 20 years ago. Someday I will try a fullsized one!:)

[Dan Forman]

That's a beauty! I hear you can use a hand plane on a turning pin in order to achieve a consistent diameter.

A very nice looking roller pin Alan. Like the others, I like the handle design.

[Brian Kent]

Is this light level adjustment OK?

[Allan Ferguson]

Actually the wood is very dark in color with subdued red casts.
