Fisher’s wife wanted a Lazy Susan for the downstairs island. She entertains down there often and would like a way for all her friends to be able to easily enjoy the variety of snacks and goodies that she makes available. There’s actually very little that makes a Lazy Susan interesting since it’s basically just the hardware mounted onto a board.

With that in mind, He tried to come up with a way to spice it up a bit and to incorporate some artistic interest into the piece. He used the “weaving” technique that he’s explained in a previous video and managed to work in eight different species of wood into the piece. Walnut, Maple, Honey Locust, Purple Heart, Yellow Heart, Ipe, Marblewood, and Mahogany.

Check out the video and see just how he ended up making what he thinks might be the prettiest Lazy Susan ever!

Why Are Lazy Susans Called Lazy Susans?

Lazy Susans are lazy because they rotate around a central axis, meaning you don’t have to reach across the entire table to get whatever you’re trying to grab. They got their name because they were supposedly lazy servants who would spin around instead of walking back and forth between the kitchen and the dining room.
