I made those platters of old oak barrels, 50 and 75cm high. First, I marked all parts with numbers so I can get better fit when put them back together. I joined them with 8mm beech dovels and glued (last two photos). To make larger paltters I joined 4 (to some 32cm wide) and smaller platters three oak stripes (to some 25cm wide). There was awfully lot of sanding…
I made also small legs to level them – glued and screwed. Some small gaps I filled with food friendly epoxy. Finish – food friendly wood oil.

Ivan, I like to re-use/re-purpose old wood. And what I like most in this case is, that you left the grooves so everybody can see, what there where made from. Great job, Ivan!

I agree, very cool application of old “character” wood that has limited applications due to it’s shape. I’ve seen chairs but never thought about large trays, nice work Ivan!

Very clever Ivan! These are great! I love anything old style! I hope all that sanding was from something powered!
