New Work

[The BoardSMITH]

While at the Beer, Bourbon & BBQ event in Cary, NC earlier this year, I had a large round cherry board out front on a table and ladies kept trying to spin it asking if it would spin. I guessed they were asking for a lazy susan. As I was preparing for the Metro Cooking and Entertaining show in Nov I thought of those questions and decided to make some lazy susans to take to DC. Below is one of the first.



This one is 20" in diameter, on a special low profile bearing and made from curly quartersawn white oak with a satin lacquer finish. I have 14 more in oak, cherry,walnut and maple. If they sell well I will add them to my product mix.

I'll bet that spinning that will set off a seizer of some sort! Very cool!

Very nice!

Very nice, honestly I can understand their confusion as round cutting boards just don't seem very practical to me. The edge of my table is square I want a board that can get as close to it as possible.

Good thinking David, way to listen to your customers!
I bet they sell like hot cakes.

Great idea! A few times at chinese restaurants where they have large lazy susans on the tables for family style eating I had wondered how they would look in koa Bit then we would be talking 40"+

I have seen lazy susans with a series of 4 wheels under them which made for a more stable platform. I would buy one, hate the plastic ones. But have always wanted one in wood would be worth it.

'Nother one. Curly hard maple, 18".



The photo doesn't do complete justice to the depth of the curls.

That curly maple is beautiful!
