Hardwood Serving Tray

This serving tray was made to fit a large living room ottoman. The tray is about 30” x 24” x 2.5”. I first created a large panel using offcut pieces of cherry, maple, walnut, and ash. From that panel I could cut a strip from each side and essentially fold it up to create the tray walls. This method gives the tray a continuous grain pattern. I used the CNC router to cut comfortable handles on each end and I reinforced them with some accent pieces of cherry. The finish is a food safe walnut oil.
