serving tray

Sweet looking tray, I’m sure they’ll love it.

Great tray… I’m humbled to be an inspiration for anything… let alone something so nice!

Another beautiful project by the GRIZZ! This one is a beauty! You can really see the shimmer and the grain in the woods. They are going to really love it. The colors are incredible together. I love Padauk and walnut together and the red oak just sets them off beautifully.

Awesome job, my friend! :)

Not only is it great and beautiful, but … anybody who’s spent any time watching Grizz’s projects … can pick out a Grizz Original from a mile away. There’s just a distinctive style, in everything you make … and it’s a GREAT style.

Help me out, here: in the SECOND picture, the “second to last” wood changes character 3/4 of the way to the right. Is THAT the transition to sapwood—the newer growth ?? I’m still trying to get my head around it.

Beautiful work, Grizz. You DO crank ‘em out :-) I really like that it’s balanced … and has symmetry … rather than just a pretty collection of species.

Verrrry nice !

Hi Grizz, beautiful tray and the perfect gift. Neil took the words out of my mouth (or computer?). Your pieces all have that ‘Grizz factor’ which I think is the way you combine different wood combination’s so well. They all have a warmth to them that distinguishes your work.

Nice tray Grizz! I too like the grain, good choice putting it on the ends. What are you using for a finish?

Red Oak, niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! Good tray, Grizz.

thank you fellow jocks for your kind words, yes neil the one i think your referring to on the walnut is the sap wood on that piece and dez the finish im using is a gloss polyurethane , i think im going to try using a satin type of finish soon, and see how it does with the wood and see if toning it down will do it justice and notbe so bright in the sheen…i was given this suggestion and gave it some thought, and want to try it, sometimes we get into a rut with what were doing and when a helpful suggestion comes..we should look at it and see if it just might be something that would enhance our work…so im going to do it…thanks again folks for the great encouragement and kind words…grizz

What a beauty, Grizz!

I really like the wood combination and the design of the side rails.
