Alan Single-L,

Although I'm not Joyce (obviously), Etsy.com is like eBay but for 
homemade crafts.  Our old friend Claude Freaner sells his wood carvings 
on Etsy.com.


Maybe a simplified description but that's how I view it.

Yes. In fact, I have a number of rolling pins that I made myself. 
Including an ornamental huge pin made out of figured maple. I have a 
french pin in maple and a long straight pin (no handles) in lacewood, as 
well as a couple smaller ones. The only one that gets used on a regular 
basis is the long straight one (about 40 cm long, 5 cm diameter); used 
primarily for rolling pie dough. I also have a very long, thin straight 
one (2.5 cm / 1 inch diameter) for rolling pasta in brazilian rosewood.




and #2 would you buy one


Well, obviously, no, since I make my own, but if I didn't have a lathe, 
yes I would certainly buy one or more rolling pins. But then, I do a 
fair amount of baking, and a whole lot of cooking...

if the price were right (probably $20 each
Actually, I think a good rolling pin, made out of nice wood, could fetch 
more than that.
, but they last forever, for the ones made of common woods like oak, 
poplar
Oak, given its porous nature, would be a bad choice for a rolling pin, I 
would think, as would poplar (soft, porous, too light). I would favour 
the standards like maple, beech, or walnut.


Another nice little thingie that you can make on the lathe, that would 
be perfect to sell at an 'introductory' price level is a 'spurtle' 
(google that ;-) ), preferably with the traditional stylized Scottish 
thistlehead on top. A few burned rings at the 'grip' section would give 
'em character.
