Party serving Tray - wood-chips - 03-02-2017 Last Christmas my brothers GF asked for a serving tray and gave me some examples.  She requested that it be made with some of that “pretty wood”. I picked through her examples and came up with my own design. Well it finally has been warm enough to get out in the shop so I got busy. It’s made out of walnut, bloodwood and maple. The maple had some heartwood and it was fortuitous that the colors worked out nicely.  I made the cutting tray part removable so if it gets stuff stuck on it will be much easier to clean. I sanded it to 320 and applied 4 coats of high gloss tung oil with sanding between coats.  The maple top has a couple coats of mineral oil.

RE: Party serving Tray - bennybmn - 03-03-2017 Very nice! They made something similar on Woodsmith shop recently, I like your maple top much more! RE: Party serving Tray - TomFromStLouis - 03-03-2017 What's not to like? A daring combination of woods that really works, a practical design with flair, nice finish.  She's going to want more from your shop.... RE: Party serving Tray - FrankAtl - 03-03-2017 That's very nice. Well done! RE: Party serving Tray - giradman - 03-05-2017 Beautiful design and love the contrasting woods - congrats!  Dave
