It's mostly surface-etch, not deep enough to be a cleaning problem.

The etching will only be on the ends.

Oooh, I have a pie in mind already, and we might be making one for Thanksgiving... My own laser-engraved rolling pin might actually inspire me to roll out pie crusts, instead of going the lazy route and buying them.
