Handmade Antique Lazy Susan Dining Table

Before Photo – This table showed up in very bad condition…

In Process 1 – Parts have been cleaned and stripped of the old finish. The table base was made from Heart Pine, the top was made from Poplar. The top was originally stained a darker color to resemble Walnut.

In Process 2 – Here we have reproduced several pie wedges and distressed them accordingly.

In Process 3 – Table and base have been stained with a medium brown walnut dye.

In Process 3 – Lazy Susan was decreased in diameter to accomidate current dining plates. Plates in the 1900’s were smaller in diameter and did not require as much space.
