I think what’s great about this is that you took a common tray and created an elegant and fetching design. And that is out of left over wood no less!

Nice work!

Been wanting to build one of these for quite awhile now. keep putting it on the back burner though. This one looks great.

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Very attractive. And handy too. Don’t you love how the wood pops when you put the finish on? I like how you showed a picture of the half-finished project. Thanks for sharing.

Great project idea, and nicely done. The woods you chose work well together. Assuming you used pure tung oil, you may want to consider putting a more durable topcoat like polyurethane on the top. I imagine the surface will get pretty banged up from tossing keys and such on there. Just my 2 cents worth. Again, nice looking project.

i love that shine…after the tung oil do you need to put something on top to keep that shine…or are we seeing the pproject still wet? i love the design—-we can all use this item!!

Great work. I don’t see any need for improvement.
