Description

The Octagonal Lazy Susan featured in this episode of 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.  In this episode, Tommy provides detailed instructions on how to build the initial shape, but then takes particular care with his instruction on how to do the inlay.  We also take a Rough Cut Road Trip in this episode to Historic New England, a massive warehouse of important furniture, not open to the public.  Back in the shop, fellow North Bennet Street School graduate Eli Cleveland joins Tommy in the shop.
