Lathe turned rolling pins
My wife decided her 4 grandchildren (all adults, 2 girls, 2 boys) who like to cook needed a rolling pin made by me. So I gave it a try. The picture is the result. They are made from Walnut (2), Big Leaf maple(1), Walnut & maple (1), Cherry and Beech (1), and Golden Chain (1) the dark one.
They are approx. 10" by 2.25 to 2.75" in diameter. The handles are glued in with mortise and tenons 7/8" in diameter by 1" deep.
I finished them with two coats of Walnut oil to enhance the grain and 5 coats of General's salad bowl finish.
My wife immediately laid claim to one of the Walnut pins with the other one going to her daughter in-law. All will be birthday gifts. I think I will do a couple more.

Wow - great gifts!
Beautiful bunch of pins. I agree with Pottz, the ones he picked are also my favorites.. How did you attach the handles to the pins on these, glued solid or some type of hardware ? Excellent job.
What a beautiful and useful keepsake

Thanks for the kind comments.
The handles were turned separately and glued in with 1" X 7/8" tenon. The walnut pins and the Big Leaf Maple had the same wood. The others were maple and beech.
