Simple tray

Looks like it oughta work ….tell me what type of wood is the table beneath your tray , please and also where does Rimu come from ?

-- You know you're getting old when you know the difference between you're (you are) and your (belonging to you) AND how to use them in a sentence .

the table is macrocarpa (which is actually montray pine, i think). you can see how the end grain of macro looks like in my cutting board project. Rimu comes from New Zealand. its a great timber, and the early colonials abused it to build houses, so now it is protected and you can’t get new timber. however, when an old house is demolished, you get large amount of Rimu in relatively good condition.

-- The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep...

Great idea. I should make one of these for my house.
Thanks for the inspiration :)

nice looking tray. we are still using the crummy plastic style. I should take the time to build some as well.

Did the final result satisfy your wife? Either way, the praise from guests will, eventually.

-- so much wood, so little time. Bradford.

eventually, after the final buff, when the tung oil have this special sheen she seemed more content. anyway, i am not worried. our house is full of things that came within an inch of becoming firewood and now we don’t know how we could ever live without them….
