That is beautiful. I would ditch the lazy Susan and highlight the center. That is one of the best parts.

LOL...I can sometime be incented to select...which is basically spending someone else's money. Steve is a long-time friend who I've even visited with during business travel over the years. He knew I lived close to the one source in the country that actually had what he needed "right then" and I was happy to help. But this thread is about his amazing craftsmanship...

Wow!, beautiful job.
Thanks again everyone. It’s definitely one I’m proud of. There are 24 leaves in the top. As to the lazy susan the homeowner ( not my wife) said she loves the look with it in place. It may have something to do with the fact that it is 41” in diameter made with a 3/4” Baltic birch core and 2-1/2” x 1-3/4” thick edge so not exactly light. A 2 person job to put it on and take it off. Maybe after the holidays are over and they aren’t using it every day that might change. Both the table and the lazy susan have an undercut curved bevel.

Steve, is there a pin or something to locate and contain the lazy Susan in the center?

No pin but the inner diameter of the ebony inlay is the same as the lazy susan. I put soft rubber pads on the bottom of it so it won’t slide around when you turn it.

Clearly that took a while but totally worth it! What better than the family gathering place to appreciate it.

Steve,
Outstanding design with a great attention to the details (It even plays well to the wall mounted sideboard).
Superb use of materials.
Great execution, craftsmanship.
One of the finest pieces ever posted here.
Mahalo for sharing and inspiring us to raise our standards - Bill
Stunning, completely awesome
Fantastic grain matching and great idea for the inlay as a guide for placement of the lazy susan. Thanks for sharing!
Best,
Chris

Amazing table Steve. I have to assume that it's veneer, or expansion would tear it apart right?
Thanks again for all the compliments. It is veneer with a solid edge.

Beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing. Do you mind saying where you source the veneer? I’m planning a smaller top table, but having a difficult time finding a source for smaller packs of sequential sheets with more than 6.
