This lazy susan was made for my mother. It’s made from red oak boards that were tongue and grooved and glued together, and then planed flat. The radius was then cut using a cirlcle jig and router. A red oak veneer was applied to the top for continuous grain. The edging is strips of steam-bent red oak ( made a steam box just to do this project)with a groove running the center and length of each piece that fits a tongue routed in the table. A wide groove was routed on the underside to accomodate the large turning mechanism and lower the height a little. A strip of steam-bent walnut was added around the edge for interest, I also placed an inlay of a leaf made from walnut crotch with a circle of steam-bent walnut around it. I finished it with 3 coats of oil based poly (sanding between coats) and rubbed it out using 0000 steel wool and paste wax. It’s 30’’ in diameter

This is pretty sharp and seems like a well suited project. I see some of these cool lazy susans in my future. Nice job on the inlay by the way, well done.

Larry that lazy S under looks like it can do the job for a right old family gathering. What a beautifull gift for “who elese” but Mum, certainly up to the usual standard we have come to expect :)))
Well done
