Another birthday present finished

Post by fiatben »

I've been using the warmer weather and my Shopsmith to finish my youngest daughter's birthday present ON TIME!

Nothing original. Got the idea from the March 2003 issue of WOOD magazine. I like their projects as they seem to usually be within my skill set.

I won't talk about the flaws in it, or how long it took! :o

Well I like it sir. :) How are the ends attached and did you dowel or just glue the layers together?

Very nice! The rolling pin and scraper make a nice combination. I'm sure your daughter will get many years of enjoyment out of them.

Very nice. When I showed it to my wife her first comment was: "I'd hate to cut on that and scratch the finish."
I guess if I make one I'll have to attach a picture hook.:D
Anyway, nice design and lovely work.

Made my mouth water, just to look at that beautiful pastry board!! Oh! for the good ol' days when I could eat as much Pastry as I could hold. Sometimes age has it's drawbacks.

Very Nice work, fiatben:D !

Is the scraper blade also made of wood to avoid marring the board?

Nice looking board!

The roller and scraper make it a nice set.
