Rolling pin, carved out of one piece of wood. From the History Information Station: History: The rolling pin was one of a pioneer woman's most important tools, for she did all her own baking, including pies, biscuits, cookies, and crackers. She might have bought a rolling pin, but more likely her husband whittled it for her, since he probably whittled most of her wooden kitchen utensils.
