The rolling pin is a work of art. Good dimensions for effectively managing the dough. Tapered tips allow detailing the dough slab to desired thickness. A beautiful and functional heirloom-quality kitchen tool.

I have purchased several Earlywood products in the past and have always been extremely happy with the quality. It starts with the packaging. The item was carefully wrapped in white tissue paper and then brown craft paper with a seal. Also included was a small Scotch-Brite pad labeled "Wood Care" with care instructions. The layers of wood are expertly sealed with no gaps and sanded smooth. I found the length to be ideal for rolling out pastry and dough, large enough to make a job quick, small enough to maneuver easily. The ends taper so that you can hold it without worrying about your hands. The size makes it easy to store in the drawer, but it is so pretty that I may need to figure out how to display it.

This French rolling pin is beautiful. I have purchased several Earlywood products and I can vouch for the exceptional quality and functionality. I wish my pin was a bit thicker but it still gives the user a good feel for the dough.

I wanted a rolling pin that would give smooth even edges and was told to get a French style rolling pin. I discovered this brand on Amazon because of the reviews. The wood is smooth, I mean there are no breaks, nicks, splinters to be found. It is sanded to perfection. It tapers off from the middle evenly to each side. One of the best parts is the weight, you can comfortably alternate direction without getting tired from moving a heavy log like the standard bowling pins, I mean rolling pins 😛. The color I ordered was the Jatoba-Ebony-Maple French type of wood. After unboxing, I cleaned it and used it to roll out pizza dough. Simply put, this rolling pin is gorgeous! It’s something that needs to be shown in your kitchen like a work of art because it is in both looks and function.

I have the version with ebony and it is truly wonderful to look at. As for rolling, I was a bit concerned about how the considerable taper would work out since I was used to a large, flat and heavy rolling pin. I can say that it is actually quite helpful to have the taper as you can more minutely direct the pressure of rolling. The pin itself is quite light so you will need to apply pressure yourself. I highly recommend ordering some mineral oil or other appropriate oil along with the pin as a light application brings out the colors very nicely. As some others mentioned, there were some slight irregularities in the surface on arrival. The pin comes with a bit of burnishing material and the instructions say you should use it periodically to smooth those type of irregularities.

I absolutely love this French rolling pin. I have used it to roll pizza dough and it’s really a joy to use. I bought this for myself, a home cook, and another for my sister who is a professional chef. She loves it too.

I just received this item and the packaging was great. Such a beautiful French styled rolling pin. Love the different colors of wood used to make this item. The finish is so smooth - not a rough spot anywhere. I haven’t used it yet, but I’m sure it will work wonderfully.

I love the rolling pin and the weight it has which is helpful to roll out pasty dough. The taper design is very easy on the hands and I can’t wait to start using this whenever I bake
