Tapered Rolling Pin, 18-Inch

This rolling pin was great - it was well cut and had no flaws or imperfections. I didn't use it as a roller - I cut it down and am using it as a muddler.

This is the last rolling pin I will ever buy.

It's simple. Just works very well.

I liked how light and easily maneuverable it was but since there doesn't seem to be a polish/finish on the wood, it stains easily and the wood doesn't not feel very smooth.

I bought this to replace a prior Norpro rolling pin. This is nothing like the one that my ex had. The current one appears as if it was turned on the lathe, lightly sanded and sent on its way. There is no finish on it at all, The end that was in the chuck of the lathe was not even sanded flat.Rather than deal with the hassle of returning it, as per the recs of another commenter, I applied a coat of mineral oil and let it soak in. Then added some food grade cutting board wax. It will now be okay and hopefully the exposed wood grain will be protected after using and cleaning it.If I didn't have the oil/wax on hand then would have returned the pin.

Try using mineral oil to season it.
