Project Information

This is the Brandy TrayI made for my wife and the design turned out just perfect for the purpose.
The design is totally new with the winged handles having three rectangular openings and the handles flowing into the ends of the tray curved maple fronts which also have the three rectangular openings with walnut sections bordering them to create a little visual effect . The tray ends are again solid maple and the legs are attached to them in a seven degree inward slope to compliment the slope of the tray fronts and ends .The bottom of the tray is thick (1/8") walnut veneer on plywood and adds another contrasting dimension to the tray.
Finished with satin poly which suites this design perfectly .
Comments and questions always welcome !

Klaus you are a production machine. You post project after project with hardly any time between. I haven't seen one yet I wouldn't be proud to own and I do fairly decent work myself. Hopefully some day I'll be at your level of professionalism…. Wish I lived nearby so I could just watch you work and learn, I'd clean the shop afterwards…...

Thanks Jim
You are welcome anytime to my shop but I doubt you would like to clean .LOL
I am retired and enjoy time in the shop more then anything and I love doing projects that I had in mind for years but not all of them are turning out so I rethink them and build another but different .
