Rolling Pins
The rolling pin is a staple tool in any kitchen. These are not only useful, they are decorative. The french roller is tapered to both ends, the traditional roller has handles on the ends, and the simple roller is a straight cylinder. Each has its own use just as each chef has their preference. I enjoy making rollers; they are more difficult than it appears. A long, steady curve, like on a French Roller is difficult to accomplish consistently. Figuring out how to store a roller has been an interesting journey, with several approaches being tried and rejected, finally arriving at the base to hold them upright. I think this maximizes the beauty while minimizing the counter space occupied.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I have been making from wood for as long as I can remember. I take a great deal of pride in my work and will not accept a commission if I am not entirely sure I can complete it to your satisfaction. ShopDog Turnery is a one-person, one-dog operation making all sorts of custom items, primarily lathe based. This includes bottle-stoppers, wine glasses (with glass or wooden bowls), platters and plates, bowls, boxes, and whatever else springs to mind.
In addition to lathe work I make various flat pieces; tables, specialty boxes, cutting boards and, again, whatever else springs to mind.
I make for the joy of the making, using sustainably harvested and reclaimed or historical woods exclusively.
Molly was the ShopDog, but is no longer with us. She did all the "RUFF" work in the turnery.
