36.3	Octagonal Lazy Susan	The Octagonal Lazy Susan featured on Rough Cut has a lot of bang for the buck. Not only is the octagonal shape beautiful to look at, but the inlaid veneer of birdseye maple and beeswing mahogany really make the piece magnificent. Tommy MacDonald provides detailed instructions on how to build the initial shape, but then takes particular care with his instruction on how to do the inlay.
