The Big Leaf Maple
As a follow up to a couple blogs back, “Maple, The Untold Story”, I finally got a few 16” lazy susans finished using the Oregon Big Leaf maple that I scored a couple of weeks ago. It’s interesting that I used figured West coast maple for the top, and figured East coast maple for the bottom. It’s kind of a East meets West thing. These are also listed for sale on Etsy. I have two more 12” ones finished, but I am waiting on the smaller lazy susan bearings to get here. I use 9” bearings for the 16” and 4” bearings for the 12”. These are stunning.
I also made up some wine bottle balancers from the narrow pieces of Oregon maple. These actually work and turned out really nice. It amazes me how stunning this maple is once it gets hit with the oil finish.
