Handcrafted French-Style Sycamore Rolling Pin – 650mm Long

There is a reason professional pastry chefs swear by a French-style rolling pin. Hand-turned from a single piece of solid sycamore from Shrophire, this pin is all about feel, control, and agility when you're working with dough.

Instead of using traditional handles on a spindle, you roll this pin using the palms of your hands. Because it tapers gently toward the ends, it’s incredibly nimble—you can easily pivot and rotate it on the fly to get your pastry or pizza dough to an absolutely perfect, even thickness. At 650mm long and 42mm wide, it’s a beautifully long tool that lets you roll out wide batches of dough in no time, but it still feels completely weightless and smooth to manoeuvre.

The Details

• Dimensions: 650mm long x 42mm diameter at the widest centre point.

• The Wood: Solid sycamore. It’s the traditional choice for heritage kitchenware because it’s a clean, pale timber with a tight grain that won't taint your food.

• The Design: A classic, handle-free French taper that gives you a much better "feel" for the thickness of your dough.

• The Finish: Turned and sanded until it’s silky smooth, then sealed with our wood protection cream so the dough won't stubbornly stick to it.

Good to Know

At 650mm, this is a serious bit of kit that makes short work of large pastry sheets. To keep it in great shape, just give it a quick wipe with a damp cloth or a brief hand-wash with warm, soapy water after baking, then dry it straight away. Please don’t leave it soaking in a wet sink or put it anywhere near a dishwasher. A little rub with our wood paste now and then will keep the wood perfectly protected and looking great.

Note: That little £1 coin on the right is just there to help you picture exactly how long this pin actually is!
