I designed and built this serving tray as a wedding gift for a co-worker and his lovely bride. Built from birds eye maple and black walnut. Box joinery holds it all together and the handles have black walnut on the bottom and two sides. Finished with several coats of shellac and polyurethane. All in all the tray was a fun to build, thanks for stopping by.
