Hand-Turned French Rolling Pin in African Guava Wood
A Rare, Exotic Rolling Pin Crafted by Hand in South Devon
Introducing this one-of-a-kind French Rolling Pin in Guava Wood, a beautifully balanced, hand-turned culinary tool created in the Crystal Woods workshop on the edge of Dartmoor. Made from the exotic African Guava fruit tree, this elegant rolling pin showcases rich chocolate tones, soft honeyed highlights and a naturally flowing grain that twists and moves across the surface like ribbons of polished satin.
Every curve has been shaped on the lathe for superior ergonomics, creating a perfectly tapered French profile ideal for pastry, breadmaking and everyday food preparation.
Exotic Beauty & Exceptional Food Safety
African Guava wood is renowned not only for its striking grain patterns but also for its naturally food-safe properties. This tight-grained species is inherently resistant to moisture absorption, meaning doughs, oils, syrups and acids sit on the surface rather than sinking into the wood.
Finished by hand with a premium food-safe oil, this French Rolling Pin in Guava Wood is fully protected, hygienic and ready for the kitchen. It is incredibly smooth to the touch, the kind of finish achieved only through careful sanding, patient craftsmanship and the deep understanding of how this unique species behaves on the lathe.
Made for Bakers, Chefs & Creative Home Cooks
Measuring 460mm long, 45mm in diameter and weighing 800 grams, this rolling pin strikes the perfect balance between heft and precision. The additional weight allows the wood itself to do much of the work, making it ideal for:
Pastry and shortcrust
Sourdough and enriched doughs
Pasta sheets and pizza bases
Sugar work and confectionery
Everyday baking and creative kitchen projects
The tapered French design gives you superior control over thickness and direction, allowing effortless manoeuvring across both small and large worktops. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or simply a lover of beautiful handcrafted kitchenware, this French Rolling Pin in Guava Wood brings a refined, artisan feel to every task.
The Perfect Christmas Gift
If you’re searching for a thoughtful, unique and functional Christmas present, something that truly stands apart, this piece is perfect. A handcrafted rolling pin is a gift that combines beauty, practicality and sentiment. The deep, exotic grain and smooth finish make this French Rolling Pin in Guava Wood a present that will be used, appreciated and treasured for years.
Ideal for bakers, chefs, food lovers, creative souls and anyone who values craftsmanship, it arrives ready to gift and ready to use.
A One-Off Piece – Only One Available
This is not a mass-produced item. There is only one available, and if future pieces are made from African Guava, production will be extremely limited due to the rarity of the species and the difficulty in sourcing suitable blanks. Each one varies dramatically in grain, meaning no two will ever look alike.
A Unique Tool for Those Who Appreciate Craft
Beautiful, functional and deeply tactile, this handcrafted French Rolling Pin in Guava Wood is a celebration of natural beauty and artisan skill. Once it’s gone, it’s gone, a truly exclusive addition to any kitchen.
