Sheets of maple were laminated to create a blank that was then cut lengthwise on a diagonal. Padauk was laminated in the middle to add some colour and contrast to the light maple.
It's round!The rolling pin is 450mm long and 55mm in diameter in the middle, tapering in to 30mm on the ends. The lamination lines between the maple were accentuated with the finish, so next time a solid piece will be used.
Detail of the PadaukThe red-orange padauk runs out on both sides of the rolling pin and has a really nice grain. Does anyone know how to properly apply Tung Oil?

Nice. The diagonal cut provides a nice transition along the curved surface.
ReplyDeleteA different adhesive may provide a less noticeable lamination line.
I have good results wet sanding (using oil as the lubricant). 600 grit generally makes most sanding marks not visible (though I've been known to use 2000 grit).
