Wood Mosaic Lazy Susan Spruces up the Table

Lindsay ~ 4 March 2009

There are lots of uses for a lazy susan, but you’ll often see them on a countertop or tabletop to make passing the food a little easier. If your lazy susan is going to be as much a display piece as a functional tool for your family, you might as well get one that looks good.

This wood mosaic lazy susan is made from 6 types of wood:

  • Tulipwood
  • Satinwood from Brazil
  • Purpleheart from Central/South America
  • Hackberry from Missouri
  • Wenge from West Africa
  • Oak from Missouri

You’ve got a lot of continents helping out with the construction of this piece!  The different types of wood are formed into 80 diamonds and 224 triangles, creating a “Lone Star” quilt pattern.

The wooden lazy susan was made from scratch on a foot-powered table saw.

$150 from Robin Tucker’s Wood Mosaics shop on Etsy.
