Roller - S-Curve
A
This was another attempt to make a shape that looked like it would not roll, but in fact does.  It is simply an "S" shape carved out of a cylindrical blank, so that the cross-section, or contact surface is circular.  I used Wenge partially due to the strength so it would support the thinner sections of the wood.  It also has a small grain pattern that works well with small pieces.  As to how to pronounce Wenge, there seems to be some difference of opinion. Pronunciations vary from wane-gay, when-gay, wen-gay through vench. Personally, I'm a wen-gee (hard g like go) kind of guy.
