About this Product
This listing is for a hand made, hand painted real Maple wood Lazy Susan turntable. I call this model the "Tan and Brown with Dots. You can order it in either 14 or 18 inches across. The top is painted on Maple wood that is 5/8 inches thick. It has a super strong metal, made in the USA ball bearing swivel. The swivel is covered in another piece of 1/2 inch wood, and felt bumpers are applied to protect your table. This exact Sand Dollar Lazy Susan has been sold. I will be happy to create one very similar, and almost like this picture. No two are exactly alike. I have the listing showing that I have five. I still need to make them, one at a time. I listed as 5, just in case someone wanted to order more than one at a time. This is how we make our Lazy Susans.
1. Purchase the Wood. 2. Cut the shape out with a jigsaw. 3. Sand the edges. 4. Route the edges and sand again. 5. Cut out the bottom piece from 1/2" wood. 6. Sand bottom, route and drill the hole for attaching screws 7. Prime all pieces of wood. 8. Attach the two parts together, swivel in middle. 9. Draw, then paint the design 10. Coat with 3 coats of marine varathane 11. Coat with two part epoxy resin. Blow bubbles out with torch. (See video in shop updates) 12. Put lid on, cross fingers and toes for good luck. 13. Hope it came out nice. and we don't need to coat it again. 14. After it dries, we remove the drips from the back, (I call them baubles) with a grinder. 15. The bottom paint is touched up. The piece is signed and dated and wrapped up in a pizza box for shipping.
There are many Lazy Susans to pick from on Etsy. The epoxy resin finish that we use is what really makes our Lazy Susans stand out. We have been working with the finish for about 8 years, and have learned a few tricks. Most people think they are made from ceramic. My husband Mike and I work hard at creating a quality piece of artwork that will be in the family and passed down through the generations.
The sand dollar art looks lovely on a table, or can easily be hung on the wall with just a small nail or screw. Either way, they are beautiful and functional. This coastal artwork is sure to become a treasured family heirloom that will be passed down through the generations!
Many people have purchased my Lazy Susan's as a coastal house warming gift, wedding gift, and as Christmas presents. This is one of a kind, coastal kitchen art. They can even be used in the bathroom to display pretty items.
Often times people will send me the colors of their kitchen or bath, and I will paint a Lazy Susan to match their decor. I enjoy custom orders, and I am more than happy to work with you to create something perfect for your decor!
We were featured on the Television show called Texas Country Reporter. Here's part of the video:

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!
