I’m calling this a win.
I started out making 3 serving trays, as a reaction to my failure as a teen-aged woodworker. You can read that story, here.
Those 3 serving trays sold at 2 events. That’s a fairly good result for a serving piece … especially a serving piece made by someone with a checkered past making a serving tray, like yours truly.
So, there was nothing to do but go back to the shop and make some more and see if I could replicate the success. These 10 serving trays were the result. Now, I have 2 different styles of handles and a wide, wide range of woods featured in these 10 boards. There are woods from 5 continents being used!
I’m enjoying making these serving trays, and I’m hopeful that the teen-aged me didn’t make an appearance when I was making these in the shop. If that happened, the result could be less than ideal.
Somehow, I’m not worried.
If any of these catch your fancy, you’ll find all of them this weekend at Santa Clarita’s Fine Craft Show in Old Orchard Park. Hours are 10a – 5p on Saturday, and 10a – 3p on Sunday. Hope to see you there!
You do such beautiful work!
Thanks! For me, it’s all about the blend. I did have fun making these serving trays, as I got to use some woods that I can’t use in cutting boards. Merbau, Teak and Sapele are all beautiful woods that I don’t use often, as they are too soft for cutting boards. IMHO.
