I started making these trays 2 years ago and have made them in purpleheart, cherry, walnut, an walnut and quilted maple.
But this one was special. My sister just beat cancer and I decided to make her something special and unique. so I used Bubinga and Quilted Bubinga. The sides are 5/8ths bubinga, and the tray is veneered quilted on both sides. The finish is 6 coats of a tung oil/boiled linseed oil/poly blend that I mix myself.

That is some beautifull wood. And wow beating cancer is a great feeling. Both my parents have done the same and now every day with them feels like a gift.
I also love that finish. You should share your recipe with Sgt. Lobo I know he said he had some dificulty with an oil finish and it looks like you have that figured out. Great Work.

Another great one. I liked the other one you posted today as well. You’ve got a great source for veneer I see.

Great looking tray. I’ve called the veneer Waterfall Bubinga, because of the waterfal look. I put some in the bottom of the baby cradle that I made.

I’m happier to hear about your sister beating cancer but you truly did a spectacular job on the trays. Simply beautifuil! I need to learn veneering soon.
