Why is it so hard to find a quality marble rolling pin
Ok, I have reviewed other marble rolling pins in my search for one, so here's yet another. First, the rod doesn't appear to be stainless so eventually it will corrode. No spec on bearings or bushings but there are nylon bushings on each side. The only marble rolling pin so far that I have seen with stainless steel bearings is the Vic Firth (see my review).
I ended up returning this because of defect in the marble surface, marble surface had scratches. The holes on this Fox Run actually is pretty centered and there is only a slight wobble. I have returned other marble rolling pins because of off centered drill hole with a large wobble you can feel in your hand when you roll.
I have ordered from several "brands" hoping to find a good one but after several, I think the marble all come from the same place in Taiwan and the QC is just not there. In the end, I purchased a Nor Pro stainless steel and an Aluminum rolling pin. I have posted reviews for those if anyone is interested.
