Quite a project... I love the little bit of white in one of the walnut pieces. I almost wish there was a corresponding 'feature' in the other piece of walnut. Great finish and I love the idea of the rolling pin.

Beautiful piece. I like the yellow and the white and of course the walnut. Keep up the good work.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks very much!😎

[@michaelmathews8974]

One comment besides the end result was beautiful! When you were turning with the carbide tool, it seemed to me like your tool rest was a bit far from the piece. I reposition quite regularly so the tool rest doesn’t get too far away. Also, with regards to calipers, you can make some simple ones for referencing the ends like you were doing with a couple pieces of hardboard. Just shape them into two divider shaped arms and attach them together with a pivot bolt with wing nut. Then you can set to one size and compare to the other end. Keep it up! Good work!

[@PFWoodturning]

Awesome, thank you!!

[@pipercub45]

Neat idea to make it out of resin and wood. I have probably made 15-20 "French" rolling pins for people and myself. I actually use one in baking. I found through using one that I start off with 2" diameter in the center and taper to "1 1/2" seems most comfortable when rolling out dough. The taper is not critical as I just eyeball it. Mineral oil finish is fine since it is food safe and renewable.

[@PFWoodturning]

Cool, thank you!!

[@michaelhofer9149]

My weekly fix of wood turning by a gorgeous lady! BooYaw! Sanity is highly overrated!

[@PFWoodturning]

Ha!

[@vernowens5375]

First, I had to go online to figure out what a French rolling pin looked like? Got it now!! Beautiful outcome. I kind of like the white because it breaks up a regular pattern. Being an engineer I would have measured/laid out a cardboard pattern to measure my progress against. Yours turned out great without though!! Good job.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks! Yeah, that would be a good way to do it. Next time!

[@dddriller1]

needed a BIGGER hammer lol BIGGER pry bar too lol great project as always a great take on artisty PEACE OUT who could thumbs down this

[@PFWoodturning]

Ha. Yes, indeed a bigger hammer for sure. As for thumbs down -- to each their own I guess.

[@Ricksp65]

Well I pulled the trigger on a full-size lathe it should be delivered in about a week or two I was able to take a trip to Miami since I live in Florida and I was able to see a lot of the full-size lathes in person and the one that definitely one out was the Laguna Revo exactly like the one you work on which is a lot sexier and had less of a lead time for delivery then the Powermatic that was in the same price range so we’ll see when it gets here i’m very excited I also got the 20 inch bed extension for it. Thanks again for all the wonderful videos and you inspire a lot of people.

[@PFWoodturning]

That's awesome! You're going to be very happy with it! Happy turning!

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

its always good to try different styles and techniques, lovely bit of walnut, that would also look good as a night light stored upright on a base with a light in it in the kitchen.multipurpose, rolling pin during the day ambiance in the night lol take care Rob

[@PFWoodturning]

Great idea! Thanks!

Peggy, another winner, interesting and informative film. I just made three of these on my channel to.

[@PFWoodturning]

Cool, I'll check it out!

[@ldjtje]

For doing it for the first time, it became a very nice project Peggy. And to be honest i really like the white in the wallnut. Your videos are always very interesting to watch, thank you. 👍

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@SwimSkinny]

Walnut looks great, yellow even looks good. I’m not big on the white myself. I think you could build a template and makeshift caliper pretty easy...it would help the balance. You can also mark it from each where the taper starts. Fun video. Thanks for sharing I’m a fan of watching your progress.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks much!

[@mikec53]

Nice project. Great figure in that walnut. The narration of the process makes your videos exceptional.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@mpace58]

The yellow and walnut look great together and I love the white accent. My ADHD is going a little crazy with the different tapers on each end. :) Have a great weekend!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Mark!

[@kennethbrinker2801]

I make allot rolling pins. If they want old style handles I insert a dowel (1/2") in each end when I am doing my glue up. I reverse the grain on each board. I then center on the dowel pins.I make the handles and add them. I have a 120 watt laser engraver and I then add a name or whatever the customer wants. Nice work

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, I need a lot more practice on rolling pins!

[@jackgetzler9886]

The last thing I turned before becoming disabled was 2 rolling pins my first and only mine where different I took maple and walnut glued together then cut at a angle then reglued yours is awesome very nice for 1st one

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Jack!! Much appreciated. I like your maple and walnut one, I might have to try that!

[@DavidAdamsen]

Nice work, Peggy! I think white resin was a great choice for filling the voids in the walnut. Such amazing grain in that wood! ✌️

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks so much!

[@dennisbeamish9058]

nice piece Peggy. I don't ming the white resin, but think I would prefer without, the Walnut is outstanding! Regards Dennis

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@traceyrice]

I really like the white in the grain... to the point where I almost wish you would've used white instead of the yellow. It's still a pretty idea for a rolling pin, either way. Good job! 💜

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@bigmikex2333]

I like the resin.....it offsets the walnut nicely. The best finish for an often used rolling pin is mineral oil. Mineral oil will not turn rancid like vegetable oils can.

[@PFWoodturning]

Great point!

[@dmcwoodworx2968]

It does need to be Food Grade Mineral Oil, which is slightly more expensive.

[@karledman4625]

Like the grain and the white spot is what it is. While on the lathe the yellow appeared to me as objectionable but when off and displayed the color was right on. Couple of suggestions: a. Bend a piece of wire as if measuring for wall thickness but use it on the OD. b. You may want to cut a template to achieve the taper / form you are trying to make. Other than the suggestions the rolling pin looks good. Nice job.

[@PFWoodturning]

Great tips, thanks so much! 👍🏻

[@valeriehenschel1590]

Bring blank to round and maximum diameter. Mark each end, mark middle. Use parting tool to cut ends to final diameter using bought or homemade calipers, or jig. For full taper, taper to each pre cut end diameter from the middle, doing far end first. For flat middle with tapered ends, mark each end of the middle flat length, then taper down to each precut end diameter, far end first. Speeds things up and helps you get the tapers even. Nice results for first run at it.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Valerie! Great suggestions.

[@ravenrock541]

I could go either way with the white resin

[@PFWoodturning]

Yeah, me too.

[@andydavidson4108]

Peggy, I do like the white. I made mine out of 2 1/2" maple and use it for rolling my pizza dough. The finish that I chose was mineral oil and it has held up quite well. A comment on the mold. Might have been easier if you would have attached wooden blocks to both ends. Put wax paper top and bottom. Then over the wax paper secure plywood to hold in the epoxy. Not sure if that would work, but might be worth a shot. Wish I could attach a drawing to explain this better.

[@PFWoodturning]

Great tips, thanks much! 👍🏻

[@gavincoyle]

Love the yellow resin with the Walnut and the white looks great the only thing I would say as a novice baker the tapers look a little too thick to get a proper grip but as I say I am only a novice baker so maybe I am wrong. But overall it's yet another great looking piece and I do love your voice overs, has anyone ever told you that you have a very relaxing voice 👍👍👍

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Gavin. Yes, a couple viewers have commented on my voice. One called me the female Bob Ross! Hilarious!

[@kamenvelitchkov6533]

Notting to see!

[@PFWoodturning]

ok

[@JamesSmith-ji6yx]

Loved the walnut with the oil finish. I think I would prefer a greater contrast with the resin. I am mixed regarding the white patches. I find them interesting but also distracting. A really nice piece though.

[@PFWoodturning]

Cool, thanks for your thoughts, I appreciate it!

[@teresajudy7232]

The white in this piece makes it look like you used opalized wood for this. Very interesting.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@richardarguelles194]

It’s really very very beautiful New Year’s but I would’ve made handles out of the end you know rolling handles for each end and kept the middle just like that would’ve been great for rolling out tortillas but great job thank you I really love it looks good God bless

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@texanasimmons1761]

For my preference, I would have preferred not to have the white. A tip to check evenness of the diameter, take it out of the chuck and roll it on a table to see if there are any high or low spots. Despite the white, it was a nice first attempt! Thanks.

[@PFWoodturning]

Great suggestions, thanks! 😎

[@ronjones9373]

Disassemble was any interesting word choice for getting it out of the mold.🙂

[@dougvokins2827]

Beautiful as always! ... When you were wet sanding the resin what were you using as the lubricant?

[@PFWoodturning]

Hey, thanks! It was water.

[@davidharvey5672]

Looks nice, is there a particular diameter for these? What would you say yours is please?

[@PFWoodturning]

I'm not sure what the diameter is supposed to be. I'd say mine at the widest part in the middle is probably 2 1/4 inches...but I actually haven't measured it either.

[@staynavytom2963]

Did you look into food safety for the resin and tung oil? I’ve stayed away from resin because I could not determine if it was safe with food and if it would stick to dough. I use butcher block oil as a finish. Looks good.

[@chrissullivan2948]

[@staynavytom2963]

@@PFWoodturning Food safe was wrong choice of words. Does the tung oil make the dough stick to the wood?

[@mari.s752]

When turning anything that is square to round the easiest way I have found to get it to round quickly without over-turning is to use a small tip red marker and a square to draw a linear mark down the exact center of one the flat sides then turn your piece until the mark starts getting lighter, at which point you can start with the finishing cuts.

[@PFWoodturning]

Great tip. Thanks!

[@fretless05]

Was it a trick of speeding up the video, or was the tool rest walking on you when rounding the piece?

You should have used calipers to balance the ends. And removed the white stuff. French rolling pins can be much slimmer than this one. Nice job on the resin, like the yellow. See you next week.

I thought that turned out nicely. I also liked the white resin. With that mould, weren't you tempted to just saw off the big, red taped slab bit and stick it on the lathe to get the mould off? Well done though.

[@roamingchemist2514]

All the French rolling pins I've seen (and used) are tapered at both ends. This one looks interesting and very nice. For the next one... if all you are doing is filling a space between two planks, I'd suggest simply gluing sacrificial pieces of 1/4" ply to the bottom and ends of the planks (and not the sides) and then turning it away. Your mold seemed over engineered, and you destroyed it anyway.

[@PFWoodturning]

Yes! Indeed I did destroy it! Thanks for the comment. Cheers!

[@williamellis8993]

That's great, Peggy. I like the white as well as the figure in the wood around it. It breaks up the monotony of a regular pattern. Maybe next one put the wood at an angle and create a spiral effect. Now you need to go make some cookies, a pie, etc. Stay safe. Bill

Decadent. Walnut has to be some of the most beautiful wood grain there is. Not a fan of resin, but it was kind of nice it was clear enough to see through.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks 😊

[@jarmstrong2843]

PF, for a while there, I thought I was watching you turn into Big Foot or the creature from the dark lagoon with all those shavings on your arm. I have never heard of a French rolling pin. The only rolling pin I am familiar with is the one my wife uses on me when I misbehave. I still have knots on my head after 20 years of her putting up with me. But, she's definitely a keeper. Hope you are well and staying safe during these crazy times. Perhaps we will finally defeat the awful gift we received from China, but our lives forever changed. Perhaps a jack hammer or dynamite might work better releasing things from the mold. Maybe a light dusting of talcum power might act as a release agent to keep things from sticking to the mold. Who knows?
