Unique Gifts For Kitchen & Table

The items below are available wherever Two Rivers Turnings are sold, including from me directly during November's "Over The Mountain Studio Tour" here in Jefferson County (see the complete list of our retail partners here), and we're proud to say that over the years our "unique gifts" have traveled around the world. If you are not local and in need of a housewarming, wedding, or other occasion gift from our little corner of the Blue Ridge, just give me a call and if feasible I will ship.

The French Tapered Rollng Pin - $45

This our version of the French pin Dame Julia Child waxed poetically on her show (see her epic "diss" of the classic American handled rolling HERE, starting at around 19:50 of the episode). We designed our pin to provide the following benefits  following benefits:
Control (hands are closer to and can feel dough thickness, Balance (even, continuous pressure on the dough is easy to achieve); Tapered ends: allow easy rotation and tight turns, while being gentle on the hands and wrists, and Easy Cleaning: no crevices for dough to hide in; just wipe clean. Our French Tapered Rolling Pins are crafted from carefully selected Sugar Maple and Cherry. Finished with a food-grade, penetrating oil, these pins are easy to clean and care for (instructions come with each pin). They measure a generous 19 inches (long enough to be effective with pie crusts and pizza dough, but short enough to fit inside a standard cabinet drawer), and vary between 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 inches thick along a 12 inch span (affording  the user plenty of flat rolling surface before tapering at either end). We think you'll find this useful tool elegant and display-worthy (Julia Child kept hers in in a copper pot on the counter of her famous TV kitchen).

Stainless Steel Ice Cream Scoop - $45

No one likes bending a perfectly good spoon on hard ice cream, and no one likes waiting while hard ice cream softens, or worse yet (and quite possibly blasphemous) "nuking " hard ice cream in the microwave. That's why years ago we came up what is literally the last ice cream scoop you will ever need, and one that's classy enough to display in your kitchen! Our popular scoop - featured in "Taste of the South" Magazine in the summer of 2018 - features a handle of locally harvested, artfully turned fine hardwood, finished with a penetrating food-grade oil finish that with a little care will make it last a lifetime. Since we're not about to go cheap after handcrafting such an elegant handle, our scoop is a "hawk nosed" stainless steel beauty featuring a ferrule and cap that keeps moisture out of the end grain. We've sold a ton of these scoops and have gotten used to people coming back for more when they need a unique gift. Generally available in Cherry and Black Walnut (shown), White Oak, Red Oak, Wormy American Chestnut, Sugar Maple and Mahogany.
