My First turning work - French Rolling Pin

It was a hot summer day. Like the heat melts two metal bodies to one, two of my hobbies, cooking and wood working came together today. . This lovely french rolling pin can stand on its own (no pun intended) ;) I'm yet to try out the rolling characteristics of this pin. This was a good project to start my wood turning adventure.

Have you ever wondered, we all have different hand sizes and hand structures, then why should we use the mass produced rolling pins? Shouldn't the rolling pins be taylored for you?

what a beautiful rolling pin!
Congratulations!
do you think you will be making any spoons or maybe a dough bowl to go with it?

pamela, thanks for your kind comments. bowls, spoons, spinning tops and other turning projects are definitely on my my mind.
