A Walnut Wood Lazy Susan That’s Part Serving Piece, Part Art
For the friend who has everything, or the couple who loves to entertain, this walnut lazy susan is the piece that pulls the table together. Their names or a favorite saying are hand-cut into sustainably forested walnut, one letter at a time, so the personalization is part of the wood itself. Set it in the center of the table and it's part serving piece, part art, and it spins.
Why This Walnut Lazy Susan Is So Lovable
- Walnut's deep chocolate-brown color and dramatic grain make it the boldest of our lazy susan woods, a statement even when the table is empty.
- The lettering is hand-cut with a scroll saw, then sanded smooth, so it won't fade, peel, or wear off.
- It spins, so dinner comes to you at the table, and between meals it keeps oils, spices, or the coffee station a quick turn away.
- You choose the finish: food-safe mineral oil and beeswax, or a poly finish for serving that only needs a wipe with a damp cloth.
Picture it at the center of Thanksgiving dinner, loaded with the gravy, the cranberry sauce, and the rolls, turning slowly as everyone helps themselves. Or on an ordinary Tuesday, holding the salt, the pepper, and the hot sauce. Walnut looks just as good under a holiday spread as it does on its own, which is why so many people leave theirs out on the table all year.
Every lazy susan starts as sustainably forested American walnut in our Hampden studio in Baltimore. The names are cut by hand with a scroll saw, letter by letter, then sanded smooth by one of our artisans. Walnut's rich color gives the cut lettering real presence, so the names read clearly from across the table.
Customers give it for weddings, bridal showers, and to the friend who's impossible to shop for. One customer bought it for a friend who has everything, and now that couple gives them as gifts to their own friends. For every one we sell, we plant a tree in the U.S. And if you've ever wondered how it got its name, here's the story behind the lazy susan.
Make It Yours
Add up to 15 letters: two first names, a family name, a house name, or a short saying. Pick the size that fits their table, then choose the food-safe finish or the poly finish for easier care. Prefer a lighter wood? It's also available as a maple lazy susan or a cherry lazy susan.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the food-safe and not food-safe finish?
The food-safe finish is food-safe mineral oil and beeswax. It does need a little maintenance to stay looking its best. The not food-safe finish is a poly coating: you can serve food on it, but you shouldn't cut on it.
How do I care for my lazy susan?
For the food-safe finish, wash it by hand with mild soap and water, stand it upright so it dries on all sides, and give it a fresh coat of mineral oil or beeswax whenever the wood starts to look dry. For the poly finish, just wipe it with a damp cloth. Either way, never put it in the dishwasher or let it sit in water.
Is a personalized lazy susan a good wedding gift?
It's one of our most-given wedding gifts. A lazy susan gets used at nearly every meal, and with the couple's names or family name on it, it becomes a keepsake they'll bring out for years. It's a popular bridal shower and housewarming gift, too.
How many characters can I personalize?
The personalization field on this page shows the maximum length, and it varies by product and size. Not sure your wording will fit? Email or text us before you order and we'll help you find a layout that looks great.
How long does it take to make my order?
It depends on the product. Each product page lists its production time in the Shipping tab, and personalized pieces are made to order in our Baltimore studio. During the holiday season, allowing extra time is always recommended. If you need it sooner, please email us at kim@wordswithboards.com
When will my order ship?
Most orders ship within 1–2 business days after they're ready. Personalized and made-to-order items are made first, and the Shipping tab on each product page lists that production time.
Once we generate a shipping label, you'll get a confirmation email with a tracking number. It can take up to 24 hours for the carrier to start updating tracking information, so don't worry if it shows nothing right away.
Sending this as a gift? We never include pricing on the packing slip — so it's safe to ship directly to the recipient.

I bought this for a good friend who has EVERYTHING. She and her husband loved it so much they are now buying as gifts for their friends. I saw the piece in person during Thanksgiving and I have to say the quality is incredible. Thank you for making such beatiful products.

Not only are the Words with Boards products unique, functional and beautiful, the customer service is above and beyond exceptional. I haven’t been this excited to give a gift in a long time because I know the couple we are honoring are going to love their custom walnut cutting board with their wedding hashtag!

Words with Boards is one of the most unique gift ideas ever. I can see why Oprah Winfrey recommends them so highly!! Kim & Mike can take the most basic idea and create an amazing gift. I approached them with a rather limited view of what I wanted and they helped to design what turned out to be a spectacular 43rd wedding anniversary gift. The lazy susan was the hit of the anniversary dinner party.
Because I live so close to their business, I was able to visit and to meet them and their dogs. They are a very warm and engaging couple. Their commitment to quality and excellence is awesome. I highly recommend Words and Boards!! They do it all and they do it with class!! I'm embarrassed to say that I made a terrible mistake with my order and they were very understanding and handled the correction without charging me extra. That's unheard of in most businesses.
I will definitely be a return customer!! Thank you Kim & Mike!!
