of rolling pins...

Um, if you need more practice on rolling pins, you could send one to DC. I would make you pie! (although it probably wouldn't travel well)

[hackerguitar]

I'd love more practice - it was amazingly painstaking work to get it right, the kind of work that is instructive in terms of muscle memory. This explains why they're mostly made on CNC machines now; a human doesn't stand a chance against a machine. But still, it's fun.

Maple or cherry?

[sowilo]

I love cherry wood, it's so pretty. I'm only doing this for you, you understand.

Something in return? I'm doing peppermint bark and dark chocolate salted caramels for Christmas this year, would you like some? or something else?

[hackerguitar]

You are the absolute epitome of grace, doing this for me. ;-) Heh

It's fun for me. That'll be enough....

I love my french rolling pin

[dre_l]

It sounds lovely.

Mmm, pie...

[cofax7]

WANT.

::scuffs feet, looks sheepish::

I, erm, would be happy to trade an actual PIE for such a rolling pin.

Long live the barter economy?

[hackerguitar]

And yet another....

Long live the barter economy, indeed. And if the most recent pie of yours I tasted (ginger-peach, yum) was any indication, there is pie-y goodness in the future....

[cofax7]

Awesome! I promise the next pie will not be soup.

[hackerguitar]

The last pie left nothing to be desired, consistency notwithstanding. SO good.

There is something so beautiful, so tactile and ripe and full of possibilities in something like this. Table legs and chair spindles are very pretty, very decorative, very functional. But this is something you hold in your hands. It's a tool, a utensil, for making something else. And the sheen and grain of the wood and the subtle slope, taper, and curve are both utility and art. I wish I could see them as you finish them and send them off. I wish I could watch you bring them into being.
