About this Product
This listing is for an 18 inch across hand painted Lazy Susan turntable. The custom painted image is of a Blue Crab is painted among the wild waves. I painted this Lazy Susan in an impressionistic style. The first five pictures above represent this particular listing. The others are other crab Lazy Sues that I have made.
This model Lazy Susan is a favorite at all of the art shows that I attend. No two are exactly alike, so it is truly a unique piece of artwork. I call it, "Art for the Table".
I cut the Lazy Susan's out of 5/8" maple plywood with a jig saw. I then sand, prime, sand some more and finally paint the image on to the wood. After the image has dried, I apply at least two coats of two part epoxy resin. The epoxy resin creates a super hard, durable, waterproof finish. It is reflective like glass. Most people think that they are made from ceramic.
The spinning device is a metal, ball bearing swivel that is meant to hold 500 lbs. and made in the USA. I have not tested this, but I have stood on them and twisted around, so I know it will hold 140 lbs. without a problem. I cover the swivel with another piece of 1/2 inch plywood, and I add felt bumpers to protect your table.
This Lazy Susan is the perfect housewarming gift for the owners of a new beach house. It will work fine, inside or outside. Truly a one of a kind creation that will be cherished conversation piece for years.
I have many other Lazy Susan designs in my shop. I hope you can take a look around, and find something special.
Our Lazy Susans were featured on an episode of Texas Country Reporter. Here is the video:
