Project Information

I made this as a last minute gift for my wife's mother.. I used some Huon Pine I brought back from Tasmania recently and matched it up with some New Guinea Rosewood.
The arcs were cut on the bandsaw using a variation of the Patron Jig… I have mentioned and used it several times on here…
The tray appears to be floating due to the supports being set in a little from the ends.
Size is 18 inches by 12 inches and the main base of the tray is 1/2 inch thick.
A small stip of felt is glued to the support feet to stop the tray scratching the table..
Unfortunately the finish is not all I expected… it will teach me not to spray in rainy weather…It takes so long to dry..

Well, I know it is summertime down there, not that it is ever very cold…......hasn't climbed above zero degrees F here today…....-17.8 C….....definitely a white and cold Christmas…......but that is the usual thing here….....

Nice tray, you ought to do more of the subtle form thing, really looks nice…......and combine it with your mad glue stuff….......hmmmmmmmm

Larry, what happened with the finish that you're not fond of?

I like the design: not too fancy and not too basic.

You just had to put in those curves! That really sets this tray apart from something more pedestrian. Very clever.

Trays amusante as the French would say.

An interesting departure from the standard format.

Nice tray, mate.

Hi Larry,

That a nice tray. The design is simple but attractive.

I am learning of new species of wood from every project you post.
