TV trays

image image image image

Wife requested lap trays for Christmas. So…. Frames are all quarter-sawn White Oak. Woods in no order whatsoever…Bloodwood, Osage Orange, Walnut, Aspen, Bamboo, Purpleheart, Alder, Lyptus, birds eye Maple. She wanted rails for eating, I wanted flat for drawing, so the backs are flat and smooth! And yes, that puzzle is stained.

The puzzle piece tray is quite whimsical… what sort of stain did you use? -- Jonathan, Denver, CO "Constructive criticism is welcome and valued as it gives me new perspectives and helps me to advance as a woodworker."

CaptainAhab home \| projects \| blog 214 posts in 993 days #9 posted 931 days ago	Chip, she hasnt’ seen them yet….unless she catches them on here….hmmm… I wanted the puzzle pieces to be identical front and back, so the simplest way I knew was to bandsaw it out, dado the edges with router and reassemble with epoxy and sawdust. My hope was that the epoxy wouldnt take the stain and thus simplify things…..not so. Had to clean up the edges. Green and blue are water based (great big pain in the &^@@, hate water stain). Mrs N ….puzzle is planed flat. -- Dave www.bluesagehues.com
