Know before you buy
The French tapered design lacks handles, which allows for greater tactile control and sensitivity when rolling out delicate doughs. This shape makes it easier to pivot and maneuver the pin, helping you achieve a perfectly even thickness for pastries and pie crusts.
No, each piece is unique. Because they are crafted from native Michigan tree species, you should expect natural variations in wood grain, color, and slight differences in dimensions.
Hand wash the rolling pin with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately; never soak it or place it in the dishwasher. To keep the wood from drying out or cracking, periodically apply a food-grade mineral oil or wood conditioner.
The 14-inch large size is versatile for most rolling tasks, including large pie crusts and cookies. The 12-inch medium size is more compact and ideal for smaller jobs, such as rolling out individual pastry portions or pasta dough.
Yes, the wood is sanded to a smooth finish suitable for pastry work. However, as with any wooden rolling pin, a light dusting of flour is recommended to ensure a completely non-stick experience.
