Serving Tray (Wedding Gift)

Very nice Blake. It looks priceless.

-- Have a great day.

Nice touch on the bottom.

-- Have a great day.

Hey Blake,
Sweet tray…well done.

Blake:

A great project. Nice job.

Very nice miters. The tray came out great.
I’d be interested in a quick tutorial including angles, etc. – when you get back, of course!! ;-)

I Like it. Good job on the angles. I hear ya, once you got it set up, it is shameful to break it down until you made some more.

Looks great, very nice contrast in woods.

Very cool Blake! I too like what you did on the bottom. Good stuff!

Blake, that’s a wonderful job on that tray; it turned out great and will make a nice wedding present. Nice going!

Blake, nice job. Do you think your college roommate (who I presume to have been the groom) will deliver breakfast to his new bride using your wonderful gift? That would be nice.

-- I love the smell of sawdust in the morning....

Beautiful tray, Blake!

The color combinations and proportions are perfect!

Beautiful Tray! Just Beautiful!

-- Robert B. Sabina, Ohio.....

A very attractive piece, from the materials, to the compound miters, with keys.

I know some people tend to use one wood as the “showpiece”, and the other as the side act, but I think two showy woods works in this case.

I’ve species of rosewood that look like your tray frame, so you might be correct in your (educated) guess?

Well done Blake!

Beautiful, elegant tray Blake. Perfect wood combination…....( I think it is Bolivian Rosewood )
Your compound miters and splines are right on.
I am sure the new bride and groom will enjoy it for many years to come.

Do you have the dimensions and how thick is the bottom? The bottom is 2 pieces joined, right?
