Serving Trays

Project by Casper posted 121 days ago 329 views 2 times favorited 6 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I made these for my mom and will be delivering in August.

Walnut and Birdseye Maple

It was my first time cutting box joints. They came out decent, had some minor tearout issues.

I had no plans really, just made some templates and a prototype and went from there.

Comments and suggestions for improvement are welcome.

Jimmy. I used a Leigh jig, which worked well. I had some minor tear out issues even though I use several precautions, it may have been my router bit..
