A Wooden Lazy Susan Turntable with Names Hand-Cut in Baltimore

For the family that gathers around one table, or the couple just starting to set theirs, this personalized lazy susan brings every dish within reach. Their names or a favorite saying are hand-cut into sustainably forested maple, one letter at a time, so the personalization is part of the wood itself. Set it in the middle of the table, give it a spin, and nobody has to say "pass the..." again.

Why This Personalized Lazy Susan Is So Lovable

  • It spins, so the salt, the sauces, and the dish everyone wants come to you instead of traveling hand to hand across the table.
  • The lettering is hand-cut with a scroll saw, then sanded smooth, so it won't fade, peel, or wear off.
  • You choose the finish: food-safe mineral oil and beeswax, or a poly finish that's made for serving and needs less upkeep.
  • It works between meals, too. On a counter or in a pantry, it keeps oils, spices, or coffee fixings a quick turn away.

A lazy susan changes the rhythm of a meal. Instead of reaching across the table or passing plates down the line, everyone just gives it a turn, and kids love being the one to spin it. Load it with sides for Sunday dinner, a taco night spread, or a cheese board for guests, and it becomes the busiest spot on the table.

Every lazy susan starts as sustainably forested American maple 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. Maple's light, even grain gives the lettering a clean, bright look that fits any kitchen.

Customers give it as a wedding gift more than anything else, and one told us she gives it at every wedding because it never fails. It's a favorite for bridal showers, birthdays, and anniversaries, too, and one family had theirs made with their house name and uses it every single day. 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 different wood? It's also available as a cherry lazy susan or a walnut lazy susan.

Details

  • A lazy susan that is not food safe just means it is coated with a poly finish so you should not cut on it but you can serve food on it.
  • A food-safe lazy susan is coated with food-safe mineral oil and beeswax. This finish does require some maintenance. 
  • The wood color will vary slightly from the picture.
  • Lazy Susan size: 16” dia or 18" dia x 1 1/8” thick
  • Weight: 7.5 lbs
  • American made with sustainably forested maple wood.
  • For each one sold a tree is planted in the US.

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.

We believe made in America matters — for the hands that make it, the economy we support, and the planet we all share.

Made by Hand in Baltimore

In our Hampden woodshop, our artisans cut, sand, and finish our boards and lazy susans by hand, whether the words are hand-cut on a scroll saw or engraved in our studio. No shortcuts. Ever.
