I made four of these as Christmas gifts. They're nothing fancy but they were fun and simple to make using wooden scraps. Although they can be used for supporting anything, I think of them as sushi trays ;) The woods used are ash, padauk and walnut. Although not obvious, the edge on the ash...

After a long week of mid-terms, I went home this weekend and spent some quality time on the lathe. After about 4 hours of making bowls, and shavings up to my knees, I wanted to do something a bit different. I had some stock of a maple from an old runner at work, and decided to make another...
