Fletchers' Mill uses high-quality solid rock maple, which is typically left unfinished or lightly treated to remain food-safe. We recommend seasoning the wood with a food-grade mineral oil before its first use to protect the surface and prevent dough from sticking.

Never submerge your rolling pin in water or put it in the dishwasher, as this can cause the wood to warp or crack. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth after use and dry it thoroughly; occasionally re-oil it to keep the wood conditioned.
