- Turning a French Rolling Pin. You can't make butter tarts without one, can you? I was not sure what the wood was until I turned it and saw the lovely grain. Now I'm fairly sure it's elm.

Smart looking rolling pin, Gord. I bet she loves it.
Billy
I think I earned a few points this time, Billy. I’m sure it won’t take me long to burn them up though! 😁😁😁
Take care,
.....Gord
Your videos are always so well produced and edited, Gord. I find them very relaxing. This was a great project, fun to watch. Keep'em coming, my friend!
Phil
That means a lot coming from someone who knows the effort that goes into these videos, Phil. Thank you for the kind words. Much appreciated.
Happy Turning,
.....Gord
Very nice pin Gord! My sisters convinced me to turn French rolling pins a couple years ago! Probably have turned over 100 now. One thing I do is before I do my final sanding I wipe the pin down with a damp cloth to raise the grain and finish with 240 grit. Made a big difference on the finish product! Thanks for sharing your videos!
Thank you for the tip, Gary. I always appreciate any tips I am offered. Thanks for watching!
Another great project thanks
Thank you very much! Glad you liked it.
.....Gord
Nice Job, Gord.
Thank you very much, George. Much appreciated!
Very nice...I made one for a friend out of Birdseye Maple and Cherry...she loves it!
Wow! I bet that was a beauty! You friend must have been thrilled. Thanks for sharing, Carol. 😃😃🇨🇦🇨🇦
Very nice job. Nice skew work as well. I use walnut oil also if I want a little darker look. It is also food safe. Thanks for sharing this video.
Great tip! I have never used walnut oil but may have to try it. Thanks for watching!
Yes, always keep your baking spouse happy. The Christmas season is baking season here, there may be a few cookies still hiding in the freezer. Very nice gift and well done. Just be careful, too many butter tarts and you'll need a wider angle lens. 😁
😂🤣😂🤣 I wonder if SWMBO would be impressed if I told her I needed a wider lens because of the butter tarts that I asked her to bake. Nope. I don’t have to wonder about that. I’d better get back on the treadmill real quick!! 😂🤣😂🤣
Thank you, Bill. I can always use a good laugh!
I did enjoy it. And thank you Gord for the video. I made one of these last year for a neighbor from her storm damaged Hackberry tree. She loved it and recently told me she uses it very often.
Thank you, Gary! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Now if I can just get SWMBO to bake those butter tarts!!! 😎😎😎
Take care,
.....Gord
Gord, your wife is a very lucky lady that pin looks fantastic and if your better half wants to make me some cookies I can organize my postal address for her 😁😁👍👍👍
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 My wife thinks you’re funny! Sorry about that, Gavin!
@@GordonRock1 🤣🤣🤣
You smoothie, taking care of the wife so she won’t lock you out of the shop. I hope you enjoy all the baked goods! Thanks Gord.
I have been called a lot of things, Kent, but this might be the first time I’ve been called a smoothie. Whatever works, eh! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦😃
Really good demo. And, to top it off, you gave us good advice on making things easier for our wives! I'm sure her rolling pin will make it nice for her when making your butter tarts. My wife enjoys the cleated shoes I got her for washing my truck in the winter. I';m goin g to make a rolling pin for her ,too, so she can make walnut pies for me after she gets done with my truck! Ha! Ha! Keep up the good work!
🤣😂 Glad you liked it, Marvin. Your wife sounds like a very understanding lady! I don’t think I would get away with too much of this. 😂🤣 Thanks for watching!
A very useful and well turned project Gord. I wouldn't want to be on the wrong end of that if SWMBO got angry in the kitchen! ;)
Great video mate.
Cheers
Mike
I’m not worried, Mike. Sucking up to my wife is one of my great accomplishments! I only worry when she says “Why don’t you sharpen my butcher knife for me and then go take a nap”! That’s when I know it’s time to go hide in the shop for awhile. 😃😃😃🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Happy turning,
.....Gord
Great simple and elegant project Gord! I love the way that the mineral oil made the grain pop. - Ed
Thanks Ed. I’m glad you liked it. Thanks for watching! 😃😃😃🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Happy turning,

Looking good Gord, a great addition to the culinary arsenal. What's next tart press? Anything to make the baking of goodies easier.
Turning of culinary items, especially baking items, might be a bad idea, Bert. I wouldn’t want to lose my girlish figure! 🤣😂🤣😂
Hey Gord It's Good To be Back I Hope 2020 is Good Year for you. Great Video and Nice Job My Friend Thank You For Sharing 👍
Thank you, Scott. Have a wonderful 2020!
.....Gord
Great job on that rolling pin.
Thank you very much, Allan. Much appreciated! 😃😃😃🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Useful. Simple. Elegant. YUM!
You gotta like that YUM part! LOL! Thank you, Stuart!
Happy Turning,
.....Gord
Absolutely awesome 😎
Thank you, Donald. Much appreciated, my friend! 😎😎🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Let it roll very often, Gord (of course not on Your back) 😁 Good work my friend. Bon appetit 😊
Thank you very much, Rav. Much appreciated! Now if she would just get those butter tarts baked!!!
Happy Turning,
.....Gord
@@GordonRock1 Thank You my friend 😊🤝
Cool gord
Thank you, Mark. 😃😃
Pallet wood to kitchen magic. It looks great. That should contribute to putting the calories on. Simple lines and beautiful grain. Another winner from the Rocks' shop. Have a Happy New Year Gord.
Thank you so much, Glen. Calories? We don’t need no stinking calories!! 😂🤣😂🤣
Thanks for watching, Glen!!
All the best,
.....Gord
Hi Gord,
Echoing some of the sentiment here, you sure are fearless making SWMBO a weapon. Awesome as usual.
I’m not afraid of my wife unless she says “Why don’t you sharpen my butcher knife and then go take a nap”! Rolling pins are nothing!! 😂🤣😂🤣
Hey Mr Niceguy!
great job! I must say your videos are really high quality and your getting really good with your editing!
Thank you, Luie! Much appreciated, sir! 😃😃🇨🇦🇨🇦
Nice work Gord. Love the sanding board.
Thank you, Alan. That sanding board has saved me many hours of work! One of my best turning tools!! 😂🤣😂🤣
Happy turning,
.....Gord
Nice rolling pin, Gord. Years ago I bought my wife a marble rolling pin and she doesn't use it at all these days. Instead of cookies, she makes me Lebanese pastries. My granddaughter makes my cookies.
I saw the little guy a couple of videos ago but he's been mia for a while.
Yes, I kicked him out of the shop for a little while. He’s not much help and always in the way. Oh wait, that’s me!! 😃😃
Thanks for watching, William! I appreciate your comments!
Happy turning,
.....Gord
Lovely Rolling pin Gord I have never made one but I might try after seeing how you got it even by using the sanding board, thanks for the great video and enjoy the butter tarts I love them too but they seem to settle on my middle!
Cheers Al
My “middle” is a little larger than it used to be, Al. I heard a rumour that I’m not going to live forever so I intend to enjoy everything I can. Especially things like butter tarts!! 😃😃
Thanks for watching, Al,
.....Gord
Nice job Gord. I made several of these and they are really well received. My suggestion is don't show it to anyone but your wife unless you want to make a bunch of them! Happy New Year.
My wife told me after I finished it that she doesn’t make dough anymore. It’s easier to buy it at the grocery store!! Guess I should have asked. Surprises aren’t always a good thing! 😱😱😳😳
Happy New Year, Tom.
.....Gord
Happy New year. Nice rolling pin Gord. I have turned a few pins over the years but I've never put a finish on. I don't know that it's necessary. I did know that the flour has to stick to it so that the dough doesn't. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked it, Gary. This was my first rolling pin so I didn’t know if oil was a good idea or not. I did it mainly because I like the way oil always makes the grain “pop”! I won’t be using it!! 😃😃🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thanks for watching,
.....Gord
Hi Gord when I first started watching I thought you said you was Rolling In The Dough $$$$$
So I was excited to see how you managed that...LOL
Looks like a fun project and it turned out really nice. And those cookies sound wonderful,
Gary
Gary, the name’s Rock, not Rockefeller!! LOL
Cookies are always wonderful. 😃😃
Take care,
.....Gord
Cookies and ice cream...wood turners most important food group!
Hey Gord, Ya may be wishin’ it was soft Maple when the wife cracks ya on the head with it. lol
Hahaha Good one, Woody! Please don’t give her any ideas. 😃😃🇨🇦🇨🇦
@@GordonRock1 She will probably bake ya a basket full of tarts and smother ya with sugar kisses for that.
Did you say BUTTER Tarts!? I love butter tarts, but most people from the US have never heard of them. I live in Kentucky, but my mother is from Canada. Her mother worked in a bake shop making every kind of pie imaginable but my favorite is the butter tarts.
Great rolling pin. I've made a few and I like to finish them with a melted together finish of 75% beeswax and 25% mineral oil.
NO BUTTER TARTS??!!
Once again, I’m so happy to be Canadian!! Butter tarts are one of life’s great pleasures! 😃😃😃🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thanks for watching, Charles.
.....Gord
Nice one!
Thank you very much, Thomas!
@@GordonRock1 you're quite welcome, sir. I prefer rolling pins with bearings and a rod through the middle, myself, but the Italian rolling pin is quite handy as well. Just wondering what your wife said about the oil finish? My pins are all bare wood with no finish and the flour sticks to them just right. I would think the oil would grab up too much flour, please ask her input and let me know, if you could. Thanks.
Thomas, she said that I must have made it as a gift for someone else. She said she doesn’t make dough anymore as it’s easier to buy it at the grocery store. Maybe I should have asked her first?!?! Sorry I don’t have an answer for you, Thomas!
Take care,
.....Gord
Gettin kinda fancy with three cameras aint ya? Makes editing a bit harder dont it? Great work!
Yes, editing is a bit harder but that’s part of the fun! I wonder if I could borrow 3 more cameras from somebody!! 😂🤣😂🤣
Thanks for watching, Phil.
Happy turning,
.....Gord
Very nice, Gord! your logo coin would have looked fantastic at both ends. Now, when are you making your first batch of cookies!!! LOL
ME??!!! You mean Gayle, right?? 😃😃😃Good to hear from you, Jean! 🥂🥂🥂
Happy New Year,
.....Gord
Yes, you - Gayle will show you how it’s done LOL LOL Happy New Year too!!!
Love the project, made a couple for Christmas myself. Where do you get the makers coin? Love the idea but can't seem to find them anywhere. Keep up the good work.
Brent, almost any trophy shop is able to make them or have them made for you. You just need to supply the design and most of them can help you with that. I hope someone near you can help with that. Thanks for watching!
Take care,
.....Gord
That came out great Gord! What did Momma think of it?
Funny you should ask. I didn’t know that she stopped making dough a long time ago. She buys it from the grocery store. I guess I made someone a gift. Now I have to find someone who still makes dough. Making a surprise for my wife didn’t used to be this difficult. Oh well, life goes on. 😂🤣😂🤣
Thanks for watching, Steve! Happy turning!
Another great video Gord. How do you live with those 1/64 variances?!? Hope you got some treats.
I know, Lewis. It’s embarrassing the stuff I “turn” out, isn’t it?!?! Just don’t tell my wife what she’s using. She would be mortified. Oh well, she puts up with me so maybe her standards aren’t really all that high. 😃😃😃
As long as you can tolerate uneven butter tarts my friend.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Good one! I wouldn’t care if there was no crust. Just give me a dish of the butter tart filling and a spoon and I will be happy! Calories? We don’t need no stinking calories! 😃😃😃
Saved this video. I have been wanting to make one for over a year.
Glad you liked it, Billy. Thanks for watching! I truly appreciate the support.
Happy Turning,
.....Gord
Where do you get your logo pins from? I like the 7/8” size. Thanks!!

Does this pin need ongoing maintenance? Perhaps periodic oiling?
I’m afraid I don’t know, Susan. Someone earlier said that occasionally refreshing it with mineral oil is good. Someone else said that it should not be oiled at all. I have never used one so I am not an authority on the subject. I suppose it’s up to the person using it what they want to do. I chose mineral oil because it’s food safe. Sorry I’m not more help!
Thanks for watching, Susan!
@@GordonRock1 I have a rolling pin about 20 years or more and i use it a lot. i never put any finish, and it is like new. another point: somebody said not to sand more than 240, it is probably true, but if you put mineral oil it gets probably as sanded to 800 or more !. but your video, as always, a masterpiece, good year.
Thank you, Alfredo. I appreciate your input.
