Panga Panga French Rolling Pin – Hand-Turned African HardwoodÂ
Introducing a beautifully balanced, hand-turned panga panga french rolling pin, crafted from premium African Panga Panga and finished with food-safe oil for a silky, effortless glide. Measuring 445mm long, 50mm in diameter and weighing 600 grams, this rolling pin combines traditional craftsmanship with the natural beauty of a rare African hardwood.
Precision-Crafted on the Lathe
Each panga panga french rolling pin is individually turned on the lathe inside the Crystal Woods Dartmoor workshop. The shaping of this piece mirrors classic patisserie craftsmanship: long, elegant tapers running smoothly toward each end, creating a balanced centre and finely pointed tips for exceptional control.
This pin has beautifully refined, symmetrical tapers and a flawless hand-burnished surface, the kind of finish only achieved by gradual sanding, patient shaping and a deep understanding of grain behaviour. The rounded ends taper to perfect clean points, giving bakers superior dexterity.
Stunning Grain Movement & Food-Safe Satin Finish
This rolling pin displays the dramatic character that only true Panga Panga delivers. Rich, chocolate-brown tones layered with golden streaks and swirling, ribbon-like patterns running the full length of the piece. This natural variation is a hallmark of high-grade African Panga Panga tight grain, dark depth, and contrast that almost looks alive.
It’s finished in multiple coats of high-quality food-safe oil, which enhances the movement of the grain, deepens the colour and leaves a smooth, satin sheen, beautifully polished, tactile and highly durable.
This panga panga french rolling pin is visually striking enough to display on the counter, yet practical enough to use every day.
Perfect for Cooking, Pastry Making & Food Preparation
Whether you’re rolling pastry for pies, laminating dough for croissants, shaping pasta, preparing biscuits, flattening naan, or working with shortcrust, a French-style rolling pin gives you ultimate control. The tapered design allows for:
More intuitive pressure distribution
Easy turning and pivoting
Better sensitivity through the dough
Finer shaping and levelling
Because Panga Panga is extremely dense and stable, this panga panga french rolling pin glides smoothly and evenly without sticking or dragging. Its 600g weight adds enough natural pressure to assist with rolling while remaining agile and responsive in hand.
A Rare, Handcrafted Culinary Tool
Every piece is handmade, shaped, refined and finished entirely by hand. No two pieces of Panga Panga ever share the same grain, which means this rolling pin is a true one-off. Once sold, it cannot be recreated.
This panga panga french rolling pin represents the heart of Crystal Woods craftsmanship: precision, beauty and functional art made to last for generations.
