About this Product
This listing is for an 18 inch across, hand painted Blue Crab Lazy Susan. I cut each one from Maple or Birch 5/8 inch plywood. I then sand the wood, prime, and paint the design with acrylic paint. After the paint dries, I apply several coats of a marine quality sealer, and finish each Lazy Susan with epoxy resin. The epoxy is what you might see on bar tops and restaurant tables. It gives each Lazy Susan a hard, strong, waterproof and very shiny surface. Most people think that they are made from glass or ceramic.
I use a metal, made in USA ball bearing swivel for the spinner. The metal hardware is covered with another piece of 1/2 cut wood and felt bumpers are applied to protect your table. Clean up is easy. Just use a damp, almost dry cloth.
My Lazy Susans are a hit at all of the Art Shows that I attend. They make a great housewarming gift for the owners of a beach house or a very unique Wedding gift. This Lazy Sue will be cherished for years to come!
I have many other Lazy Susan's in my shop, so please take a look around. I am always happy to work with you on custom colors or ideas. I look forward to making something special, just for you! Most all of my artwork is made to order.

Meet the Maker
Hi everyone, I am Janet Dineen, a handmade maker of Mosaic Art, Custom House numbers and Lazy Susans. Custom orders are my specialty. Feel free to ask about anything that you have in mind. Many times, the best ideas come from people like you.
I currently live in Aransas Pass, Texas where I am very lucky to have a home studio where I can work in the lovely air conditioning. My husband Mike and I work together on many of the projects, he cuts the wood and I paint.
We have a little dog named Dolly and her job is to keep us entertained and chase squirrels.
I welcome people into my home studio to visit or purchase something that I might have available. I hope to make something special for you soon. Cheers!
