Fir Spindle DF118
1.7" x 1.7" x 22"
1.2 lbs.
Dense, nicely figured Douglas Fir with tight growth rings and a clean, smooth texture. Mostly straight grain with the occasional small knot — just enough character to give each piece its own personality without compromising function or finish.
Cut as spindles at 1.7" × 1.7" × 22", these blanks are ideally sized for turning French-style rolling pins — the classic tapered, handleless style that lets you feel the dough directly under your palms. The tight grain and natural hardness of this fir makes it a great candidate for kitchen use, taking a fine finish right off the tool with minimal sanding.
Also great for:
- Tool handles (chisels, rasps & files)
- Drum sticks & mallets
- Wooden wizard wands
- Spindle legs for small furniture
Air-dried to approximately 10–12% MC, ready for the lathe. For use as rolling pins, a light food-safe finish — such as mineral oil or beeswax — is all you need to complete them.
