Product Description
What do orchestra drummers and bakers have in common? Vic Firth tools of course! Vic Firth was a timpanist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra for nearly fifty years. For the past thirty-five years he has turned his attention to manufacturing the finest drumstick in the world. In keeping with his exacting standards, the same woodturning expertise is now being employed to produce peppermills and salt mills of the highest quality. More recently he has turned his attention to rolling pins. This lightweight cylinder is popular among chefs as an all-purpose tool. It's ideal for small jobs, such as rolling out individual pastry squares, or creamed cookie dough. Its small diameter keeps hands close to the dough for detailed work.
Amazon.com Review
Bakers who prefer a rustic, handleless pin find this one to be ideal. It's the perfect length. And it's unfinished so that, over time, flour penetrates the wood's pores--making the pin less sticky than finished pins. --Fred Brack

Baker's Rolling Pin June 10, 2008

This was on my daughter's wish list; since then I've put it on my own wish list. It's a beautiful piece of wood (created by a famous maker of drum sticks), with just the right heft and feel. I also bought the set of rolling pin rings to go with it that allow you to roll dough perfectly level; they're a great combo.
So much better than marble! May 12, 2008

Until I purchased this rolling pin, I had a marble one. The dough would often times stick to the marble one, but not this one. It is lighter, longer and easy to use! I really like it!
I like it! February 29, 2008

The picture is exactly what you get. It arrived on time. The solid maple smells lovely -- faintly like freshly cut wood. Too bad it's not made of fir -- could also be used as a Christmas tree. (Just kidding about the last part.) It's the first time I've used one without handles. I like the way it feels when rolling out bread doughs. Thick, straight, smooth, just the right weight. Works very well. And you can bear down as much pressure as needed, without concern of bending or breaking handles like I've had happen before. Easier to clean than one with handles. And the current $12.99 seems like a reasonable price for what you get (i.e., North California standards, that is).
It's a rolling pin February 14, 2008

What else can be said? As a rolling pin, it works great, though it looks more like a billy club. It would work great as that also. However, if one was smart (and apparently I wasn't), one could get the same thing at the hardware store for much less (my minor daughter's observation). What we won't do for a name. And from a maker of drumsticks, no less. Be smarter than me by shopping around. By the way, I stand by my 5 stars because it works wonderfully as a rolling pin.
Rolling, rolling, rollin' February 9, 2008
M. K. Blue (Sacramento, CA USA)
What can one say about a rolling pin other than it rolls well? This pin has a solidness to it that suggests that it might make a good weapon should I ever find myself in need of one. Other than that, the balance is excellant and makes rolling out bread dough a snap.
