As many of you know I have a group that meets most Wednesdays at my shop and often we do a group project. This season we agreed to do serving trays which fit in well with this contest.
We started out with four, one guy got busy with turning, one just had back surgery but TimD (of the traveling pen box blogs) and I finished ours.
I had bought some burly veneer at the wood show and decided that I would use that for my tray base. So I cut and matched and glued and vacuum pressed my four pieces. Unfortunately my photo prowess is decidedly lacking and the curl doesn’t show well.
If I can get better photos done before the contest closes I will change them.
I don’t know what kind of veneer it was. The packets weren’t labeled. The vendor didn’t know. It was just curly, burly and pretty and I liked it.
-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

No. I made all four of them. Each of us were making sets of four.

Very nice Lee! I’m putting the final touches on mine and will get them posted before the contest ends. Some great entries in this one.
For anyone that’s done group projects of a similar design, isn’t it neat to see how we add our own ‘flair’ and get such unique finished pieces?
