This is a classic French-style tapered rolling pin in solid beech wood, about 21 inches long with no separate handles. The taper lets you roll dough thinner at the edges and rock the pin for an even sheet, which is why pastry cooks favor the shape over handled pins. Beech is dense and smooth-grained, so it resists dents and doesn't grab sticky dough as much as softer woods. It suits bakers who roll pie crusts, cookies and pasta by hand and want one simple tool that lasts; the trade-off is that it must be hand-washed and oiled, unlike a dishwasher-safe handled pin.
