Both daughters want a lazy Susan 18" in diameter.
The rotation ring I will use is shown here https://www.woodcraft.com/products/lazy-susan-bearing-17-1-2-highpoint?gclid=CjwKCAjwqeWKBhBFEiwABo_XBocqwaV1IWtFsRvqgzO0C9vKtapnPHS6BzaR4FCUsUFsQrNdeV4gDxoCuh4QAvD_BwE
How do I deal with wood expansion -walnut in this case- in this build.
Thanks for any help

Us smaller screws in the holes on the hardware and or drill the hardware holes out larger.
Use washer head screws. The screws are only going to hold the hardware
in place, no stress.

How big is the base? Round or square?
What's the diameter of the hardware ?

Very nice piece Leon.
Your idea will probably work if I don't destroy the ring in the
process and if there is room for the screws. The ring is only 3/8"
high and the holes are predrilled and counter sunk.
Realizing I need to see the hardware in person to see what is
possible.
I spoke yesterday with a woodworker I know about this and his answer
was "seal the thing and pray".

Sorry - but why is expansion / contraction
a special issue on a lazy susan ?
as opposed to any other piece of walnut furniture ?

What's the diameter of the hardware ?There is no base in the sense of 2 pieces of wood seperated by the
turning mechaism. The rotational ring is the base.
Check out the link in my original post.
The ring is 17.5 " diameter.

18" is not going to expand much at all. You might see 1/16". I would
use screws smaller in diameter than the holes in the ring.

swalker,in from the edge. That would cause a cross grain situation and I too am concerned with warping. Any thoughts anyone?
I had a similar question but didn't get any responses so I'll throw it out here to see what people think. I hope it's not considered hijacking your thread and apologies if it is.
I want to build a lazy Susan about 22" diameter with a similar bearing as you. I'm using ipe decking since I plan to use it outside. I looks kind of plain so I thought about inlaying a steam-bent piece of contrasting wood on the top in a circle about 2"

Where are you located? If it's a high humidity area and used outdoors
wood movement may not be an issue. <http://www.altruwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ipe_decking_nwedit.pdf> has a climate zone map and some remarks on where ipe works best.
But the surest way to prevent warping is to do the same thing on the
top and the bottom.
