Beautiful job. I really like the book matching.

Very nicely done on grain selection here, using it to your overall advantage, as well as shaping the piece around it. Certainly couldn’t have been an accident on that one. I also like the band of maple running through the center of the pith.

I’m also curious about the little router jig you used. Would you be willing to snap a picture of two of it and add it in here?

About how big is this tray?

Great looking tray. Nice design and creation. I also would like to see a picture of your jig.

Here are a few photos of the router jig, per request. Real simple design, I just used a straight bit in the router (3/4” to speed the process up). The base is a pretty flexible piece of 1/8 hardboard. I wanted it to flex enough (across it’s width, not necessarily across it’s length—although if it does, it’s not a problem) to follow the curve of the rails. The depth (or severity) of the curve will determine what kind of base you need to use.

Thank you for the photos and the added information about the router jig.
