Spoon Tray?

[bandit571]

Went through the last of the scraps of usable Ash....and, some not so usable stuff...resaw the worst off..

   



Something like this emerged...picked out the 4 that were closest  to the same thickness...



Then sized them to the same width..and then...

   

"squared" the ends at 80 degrees..

   

2 longer sides, and 2 ends...and a 1/8" thick panel for a bottom panel...

   

This will be tricky....with through dovetails..

   

Saw this time around..?

   


Then some work with a chisel..

   
Trace around the pins..saw and chop the tails..dry fit ..

   
Then repeat for Corner #2

   
This is going to be tricky to clamp up....

Stay tuned...

Been both busy, and very much under the weather, the past 10 days....so...and Up-date?

   
4 corners are done...

   
A handle cobbled up, needed stopped dados chopped out..

   
Needed to clean things up, and add a solid wood bottom...

   
Just glued in place.....
trimmed to match the sides,,,sanded to 220 grit....and get a coat of Amber Shellac...

   
Inside the Spoon Tray....and

   
A look at an end....

   
Hand sanded between coats 1 and 2....not too bad, for something to haul spoons and forks to the table...

Think I can call this one done?
