Hello there, hope this is the correct section!
I've been wanting to do something about the stickiness of movement in the base of my dob and originally planned on going the lazy susan route (I even bought a bearing for it) but have decided I would give the ebony star/teflon route a go first as that seems to be the most agreed upon method here and other places around the web.
I've called several local kitchen specialists and cabinet makers and haven't had much luck finding the exact laminate. I've been led to believe that the true ebony star has been discontinued and finding another roughly textured replacement has proven difficult. Today however I managed to get onto another mob who had a piece of "river wash" laminate that they didn't need and said I could have it free of charge.
Basically, before I go ahead and bother using it I thought I would upload some pictures for people who have seen the proper ebony star and if you could let me know if this looks the goods, that would be good

It looks quite rough in the pictures but that's because of the lighting. Rubbing your hand over it it doesn't feel rough at all but I don't have anything to compare it to. I tried getting a side on picture so you could see how textured it is but the picture quality isn't the best.
Thanks!
