Input:
Question: Is the 12-inch measurement the entire length from handle tip to handle tip?  If so, then how long is the rolling cylinder, not counting the handles?
Document: Product is well made from quality materials. Only complaint would be in the product description. Product dimensions are given as 12 x 2.8 x 3 which would lead a person to believe that the overall length is 12 inches. Actually 12 inches is the length of the roller itself and the overall rolling pin with handles is 21 inches long. This would be a bit large for many users and the 10 inch roller might be more appropriate for them.
Outstanding rolling pin, larger than the minds vision of a 12&#34; by 2 3/4&#34; product.Exceptional quality and between the pin and the handles, I expect it to last a lifetime.
Perfectly smooth and easy rolling. I was not sure whether to order this one or the longer model, but am glad I chose the medium length. Long enough for almost any task, yet short enough to fit front-to-back into my cabinets. Nice to see such a high quality product that is still made in America.
I like this rolling pin. The cylinder is smooth. The handles were a nice size. It is quality wood. It is difficult getting a quality wooden rolling pin at an affordable price these days, but this meets the criteria.
My pin has knots in it and would not roll until I loosened the handles.I also had to drill a hole in the handle in order to hang it up.I purchased it for my girlfriend and she has not used it yet, so maybe my rating isa little pre-mature.
I am very pleased with the rolling pin. Growing up my mom would make flour tortillas and right off the griddle she would put a dab of butter on it and roll it up like a burrito. Delicious!We immediately got it out and I made tortillas  for my kids, it rolled out the dough perfectly, it is the right weight and length. I recommend it!
I love this pin myself, so I bought one for my sister in law too. It is very long, and  nice and heavy, so it makes rolling easy.
I use this for rolling homemade pasta dough mostly, and occasionally pounding out steaks. Gets the job done. Good, sturdy build, and plenty long for pretty much anything I've needed. No complaints, no loss of stars!

Rolling pin is nice and heavy allowing me to swing it effectively at my husband when he gets in my way. Also the handle rotates smoothly and allows me to roll dough out effectively.
Answer: My rolling pin is 21 inches total length.  The handles are 4-1/2 inches each, and the roller is 12 inches.
