Project Information
Hey everyone, I just found out about this forum and am excited to share some projects.
In this project, I go through my scrap bin and make a serving tray.
With the variety of wood scraps I had on hand, I was able to create this sunset design going from dark earthy tones of walnut, rosewood, wenge, and padauk to bright golden tones of oak, poplar and maple.
The more exotic woods were pulled from free bins outside of carpentry shops in my neighborhood.
I decided to make the various woods continue across the full length of tray and up the sides. Having this vertical grain through the handles, weakens them a bit, but trust me after hours of sanding this piece, it's plenty strong, and I think worth it for the sake of design.
Let me know what you think of the project, and I'm posting projects monthly on my channel, and would love a few more subscribers.
Thanks!
