Leave your door open to your shop so I can find the wood I would like to have.
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification. Thank You Everyone.
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

That's really nice! I like the side profile you did on the tray. Routing out the base for the inlay takes a steady hand, and you nailed it. Great job.
Still Learning,

Thank you very much for your kind words David and Allen; I really like the shape of the tray also, and I'm thinking of doing another w/ out the inlay but giving this one a lid.

Beautiful!! The frosting on the cake so to speak is the inlay. That's a BIG wow. How you managed to "rough" route the inlay outline with a baseplate you can't see through defeats me. What type of tool(s) did you use to route right on the lines??

Thank you... I look at the router bit while cutting at the hole in the center; I used 1/4 & 1/8 inch carbide bits and went very slow.
