Project Information
Made from "firewood".
It is a total of 19" long and the roller is 11".
Diameter about 2-3/4".
I am not sure of the woods. I do think the handles are locust, with the roller being silver maple, although I might be way off! It is actually from the firewood pile. I just had wanted to try for the heck of it.
The handles do not have bearings; so roll with the pin. They were attached by using some oak dowel and gluing into both parts. The burning on the handles was done on the lathe-just using a softer wood with the corner pressed hard at a high turning spewed.
The finish is many coats of walnut food grade cutting board oil. I lost count.
