Multi-wood rolling pin

[omb76]

Made this entirely myself (with some guidance from dad). Got the idea from the laminated blanks that CSUSA sells, but didn't want to pay the $ to get one since I hand all this wood in the shop already. This is my first time laminating wood together and doing a project like this. The woods are: Walnut, Padauk, Cherry, Bolivian Rosewood, Hard Maple, Canarywood, Purpleheart, & Wenge. Worked on it most of the day yesterday and gave it to mom today for Mother's Day. Overall dimensions are 16"L x 2.5" Diameter Thanks for looking!

very nice work. Your Mom should be VERY pleased. If she even knows HALF of how difficult it is to hand-turn a uniform cylinder like that.

The selection of wood just makes the presentation even better.

Beautifully executed. You should be proud of your work. Bet your mother really liked it.

Good work David. I have not tried one because of the glue up factor, I do not want to pay the CSUSA price for the blanks, either.

David, you did a very nice job, I've tried several, but can't get them to look that good, Beautiful choice of woods also.

Thanks! Each piece was ran through the planer, then my dad showed me some sanding tricks to get a perfect surface, then lots and lots of clamps.
