I have been trying to contact this company via email for quite some time now. I want to set up a wholesale account with them. Once or twice they have answered my initial email and when I respond to them I never hear from them again. They have got the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Does anyone know if there is anything comparable to this on the market? If I didn't like this product so much I would say screw it.

flat, wooden picture frame?

Rolling pin rings. Its like an elastic band that you put on the end of your rolling pin. They vary in width and control how thick the cookie dough will turn out. I love them and never roll without them.

I use wooden dowels- you can buy them in a variety of sizes

Given my choice (and I've used both), I prefer the dowels over the rolling pin rings. The rings had too much give in them (or maybe I just roll out my dough too hard!) I LOVE my DoBord, but the dowels are much cheaper! I know some decorators have made their own version of the DoBord, and I imagine you could put one together. It wouldn't be adjustable, but putting together a frame using the thickness you use most should be feasible.

I've heard that some people use 2 yard/meter sticks. I haven't tried it yet. I've got the rings but I really don't like them much

I don't know of a substitute, but...I have the DoBord. I like it - a lot. The only issue that I have is that I use the NFSC recipe and the dough sticks to the board like it's nobody's business. I have tried parchment paper underneath but it moves and messes us the thickness. Anyone know what to do about it (aside from flouring the living daylights out of the board)?

Here is my diy cookie board HTH

Did you check out cakencrumbs.com. They have the dorbord and maybe if you wanted to go wholesale you could get it from them. I don't have one but I sure hope to have one before the fall holidays began. It looks like it around $61.00 each.

Khalstead -

What do you oil your Dobord with? My instructions said wood oil, but I can't find that.

I managed to get them wholesale from Armchair World. They saw my post here on CC and contacted me. Very nice people. And now that I know how much they cost wholesale I can see why they are so expensive. I did order some to sell though.

Devorie - I also use the NFSC and instead of putting in 6 cups of flour I use 5 cups because I figure I will be flouring the board and that will make up for the last cup. I never have any problems with it sticking.

I bought a set of the rubber rounds for rolling pins at Williams and Sonoma. It would depend on the size of your rolling pin, but worth checking out if you like the rings. They were less than $15 if I remember correctly.

A kitchen store should have wood oil. I bought some at World Market.

Thanks cookiedecorator -

I don't have a World Market - I'm in York PA, maybe Williams Sonoma?
