Introducing a beautifully crafted contemporary rolling pin in Panga wood, turned by hand in the Crystal Woods atelier on Dartmoor. Designed for bakers who appreciate fine craftsmanship, functional elegance, and natural materials, this piece is a celebration of clean, modern lines and exceptional timber. Meticulously shaped on the lathe and finished with a food-safe oil, it offers a refined balance between practical performance and artisanal beauty.

Measuring 430mm in length, 45mm in diameter, and weighing 500 grams, this rolling pin sits comfortably between light and medium weight. It offers excellent control for rolling pastries, biscuits, pasta dough, fondant, pizza dough, and intricate baking work. The straight, handle-less profile gives the user precise sensitivity and even pressure, a favourite among professional bakers and pastry chefs.

The Beauty and Performance of Panga Panga Wood

Panga Panga is an extraordinary African hardwood, admired for its deep chocolate-brown tones, dramatic grain patterns, and natural lustre. Every piece of this timber tells its own story through tight, interlocking grain lines and subtle natural striping. This rolling pin highlights those stunning grain formations beautifully, creating a tool that is as visually striking as it is practical.

One of the greatest advantages of a contemporary rolling pin in Panga wood is its natural suitability for kitchen and food-contact use. Panga Panga is known for its tight grain structure, which means doughs and moisture are less likely to penetrate the surface. This makes it exceptionally hygienic, easy to clean, and naturally resistant to absorbing oils or odours. It is finished with food-safe oil, enhancing both durability and its smooth, tactile feel.

Craftsmanship and Quality

Each contemporary rolling pin in Panga wood is individually turned, shaped, and sanded through progressively finer grades until it reaches a satin-smooth finish. The weight has been deliberately balanced to give the baker optimal feedback and a comfortable rolling rhythm. This level of craftsmanship ensures an heirloom-quality kitchen tool built to last a lifetime.

Only a very small number of rolling pins will ever be made from this particular species, due to its rarity and the scarcity of high-grade, sustainably sourced stock. This piece is a true one-off — a unique addition to any kitchen collection.

The Perfect Christmas Gift

If you’re searching for a meaningful, beautifully made gift for someone who loves baking, cooking, or handmade objects, this contemporary rolling pin in Panga wood is an exceptional Christmas present.

Whether for a home baker, a pastry enthusiast, or someone who values natural materials, this rolling pin makes a thoughtful and memorable festive gift.
