One of my neighbors dropped by the other day and brought me a couple of big chunks of oak from a pallet they had at work. I decided to try my hand at making a rolling pin. Did a little research on google and stumbled upon this site: http://www.hillcountryturners.org/projects/laminated_rolling_pins.pdf This had some measurements that I was able to use and adapt to make my pin. The rolling pin is 20" overall with the handles being 4" and the main body 12"x2".
The chunk of pallet I started with
Started out 22"x2 1/4"x2 1/4"
Starting to take shape
Doing some sanding (used a flat sanding block and a straight edge to ensure the body was nice and flat)
All sanded and ready for finish!
First coat of finish on (used butch block finish)
