25 years. I’ve had this marble rolling pin for 25 years. I was making crackers and dropped it off the side of the counter onto the concrete floor. Crack. sigh.

I contemplated gluing it back together, but the crack would have to be filled, or I’d forever have a ridge on whatever I rolled out. It could be that there is a material that is suitable for filling a crack in marble that won’t potentially dislodge and become one with the dough, but I don’t have it on hand. I do, however, have wood and a lathe. Oh by the way, I’m going to draw this story out.
