The first two pictures show a raised food / water tray that is used to contain the food in the box below. One of my neighbors removed an old painted fireplace mantle made of spruce. I sanded it then planed the wood to bring back the beauty. Wanting to use it for storage, I used Plexiglas and sealed it with silicone so nothing could leach in or out. It can hold a 20lb bag of dry dog food.
The second set of pics show an adjustable (only slightly) tray. Made of Red Cedar, we use this one at our cabin. Both are coated with polyurethane.

I like… we have a Doodle and Vet said that it might be better for her eat a little ‘higher’ up. Thanks for the idea.

I particularly like the spruce trunk. I think it’s great that your chose not to color the wood. Great job.

Ingenious… Though I would find a way to lock down that box… My own dogs would surely find a way to get in there!

The trays came out great. Good use of reclaimed wood.
