I made this “tray” to use up a few scraps I had around the shop. The two pieces of Maple on the ends were left over from the Maple slabs I used for the Jellyfish table.
The bottom and sides are Lacewood. I just designed as I went and originally thought it would have a lid but decided against it. So it has been sitting by our front door and I keep my wallet and keys in it.

Blake, nice looking wood and functional do-dad tray. You might consider putting a little sign by it saying: Donations Graciously Accepted. Funds to be used for future woodworking projects.
Happy New Year.
Rat.

Blake, I think that Bruce is onto something with the donations request. :) This is a nice piece and a good way to use of those offcuts that we just can’t seem to part with. I have never had the opportunity to work with lacewood but it looks like an interesting wood.

Cool design and great wood.
But if you leave your wallet in a tray by the front door, you obviously have no teenage children.

Nice job, everybody needs a box to put their wallet, change and keys in. Stunning.

Blake, I really like your design for your tray and of course the woods are gorgeous. I’m with Charlie, wife and teenage daughter, I wouldn’t dare leave that kind of temptation. (like I really have any money in my wallet!) lol. I have to blame someone for not having anything in the wallet, it’s not like I would spend all my money on tools or cool wood!

Interesting…I usually use my pocket instead of carrying my wallet around in a tray, but hey, that’s cool. ;)
