The J.K. Adams FRP-2 Maple French Rolling Pin is one of our original and award-winning French Dowel rolling pins that have been favorites of bakers for generations. The FRP-2 features a thinner barrel them the FRP-1 for bakers who prefer a finer pin. The FRP-2 measures 20 1/2-inch long by 1 1/2-inch in diameter. The French Dowel is made from one piece of wood and features the classic French handle-less design with tapered ends for easier rotation when rolling out pie, tart, cookie dough, and more. Many bakers prefer this type of rolling pin because they can better "feel" the dough in their hands as they handle the pin. Give it a try! We bet it will quickly become your go-to kitchen tools. At J.K. Adams, we believe that the kitchen is the heart of the home. It is this belief that drives us to create the highest quality, hand-crafted products for cooking and entertaining. It is our job to give you the tools to make cooking and entertaining easy and fun. We love to hear about the well-used carving board that serves one family's Thanksgiving turkey year after year or the cutting board used to prep a great dinner for friends.. It is these stories from our customers that keep us going.

Title: Beautiful and effective
Review: This is my first French-style rolling pin (after exclusively using the standard-style ones with handles) and it really does make a difference, especially when it comes to working with thinner/softer doughs like pie crust. The shape of this pin makes it easy to roll with, and I feel like I have much more control when I use it compared to the standard ones. It's also very big - so big that it doesn't fit in my standard-sized pullout kitchen drawer, which is fine, the size makes it more useful as it's able to cover the entirety of my cutting board. Despite being a very large rolling pin, it isn't too heavy, which for me is a plus. I also haven't noticed any issues with doughs getting stuck to it, thankfully.It looks really beautiful, with a natural wood design. I did rub mine with mineral oil after receiving/washing it, which you should do with all wooden cutting boards/cutlery/etc from time to time, and that made it look even nicer (it slightly darkened the color). I saw a few reviews where people noted that their rolling pins came with cuts/other defects, but thankfully I didn't have any of those issues. With that all being said, this is an extremely useful and premium-feeling kitchen tool and it's really worth it, especially if you work with doughs a lot.

Title: No issues! great rolling pin, great value
Review: Great rolling pin for pasta, pastries, or dough of any sort. Unfinished maple is actually the most ideal surface for working with doughs so this rolling pin is fantastic. No need to do anything when you get it. I had no issues with the sticker (which is only a bit larger than a quarter) . Don’t ever typically leave reviews but I make bread and pasta on a weekly basis and almost skipped this pin because of some reviews. Just want to confirm that this pin is rock solid and very high quality for anyone who might be in the same position I was in 🙂

Title: Great Product!
Review: JK Adams makes high quality wooden kitchen and home products at their factory in Dorset, Vermont. That alone is a good reason to buy this rolling pin, as it supports a small MUSA business. The wood is smooth and nicely shaped and does the job it's intended to do. As far as the comments expressing frustration about the label being hard to remove, I was a bit put off by those and briefly hesitated buying this product. If I didn't already own several JKA items, I may have chosen something else. However, I had no trouble at all removing the label. I don't know if they made a change in the adhesive, or what, but mine peeled off very easily. No broken nails from working at it and no residue left on the wood.

Title: but this felt like a natural jump from having always only using my ...
Review: I've admired the shape of this type of rolling pin for a while and finally decided to give it a try after having issues rolling out my doughs. It sounds a little silly, but I was really surprised by how much easier it made flattening out my dough for dumplings. I'm sure any type of rolling pin would do the same, but this felt like a natural jump from having always only using my hands. It's light but sturdy, and there are no handles to have to worry about in regards to them possibly breaking off. I would have preferred it be a darker wood, but I chose this one because it was cheap and well-received, so I can't judge it negatively for its color. We shouldn't judge anything negatively simply for its color.

Title: As advertised
Review: I have always used a standard wooden rolling pin so this has a bit of a learning curve to get the hang of how to control the pressure for uniform thickness, but I am enjoying using it. I did buy food grade mineral oil to season it.

Review: Solid rolling pin and size is just nice...could be a 5 star if label was not pasted on the rolling pin itself, but eventually I removed it without leaving any residue slowly.
