= 7.00 over 30 days | Maple or Beechwood for Rolling pins
I need to find three pieces of 12/4 maple or Beechwood at least 16" long for three rolling pins I have been commisioned to make. Anyone got any or have any suggestions? Klingspor in Raleigh tried but has nothing. I am goingto call East Wake Hardwoods later.

One other suggestion, there is a guy near Raleigh who I understood supplies the Raleigh Klingspor with turning stock. He has a store on ebay but I also heard you can go visit him and pick it up directly. He posts his phone number in his postings so you might want to just give him a call to see what he has. I'm not sure if he is a member here or not.
Here is his ebay store: http://stores.ebay.com/NCWood_Domest...dZ2QQpZ5QQtZkm | |

Yep, I would check with NCWood, he should have what you need. He is located in Archers Lodge just outside of Clayton (about 15 minutes from my house  ). Check with MikeL as he works there part-time and may be able to give the inside info.
Another thought would be a lamination, that could add a nice design element to the rolling pins

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

A while ago through the Pony Express I bought a nice piece of maple from Saunders Woodworking. Thanks to Tracy and Jerrye it arrived in the triangle and I used it to make three (4 really) rolling pings. A coworker's grandfather had made a rolling ping YEARS ago and she wanted me to duplicate it for her cousins and daughters. I had never made one. I had to use my mini-lathe extension bed for the first time.
I took lots of pics as I made them, but none of the finished product. Fortunately she brought them in and Steve took the attached shot for me. I will post my how-to in the new how-to forum when it is up and running (with picks).
