Just this minute finished off and assembled our Lazy Susan which proved 'difficult' and time consuming to make.
The inlay is a random geometric confection of all sorts of different timbers that I've accumulated and include the root of a Laurier Canelle tree, an extinct wood from St. Lucia which forms the main 'X'. Also around the rim are inlaid Bog Oak, Ebony, Walnut, Holly, Rosewood, Haze (the yellow stuff) from Japan and Bog Yew. the main body is turned from English Oak and has a diameter of 430mm, so it had to be turned in reverse on the lathe. The inlaid circular rim is in English Walnut. As it's going to be in daily use, it's been finished with three coats of Osmo satin - Rob
