After procrastanating almost all month, I finally decided to make an entry for the serving tray contest. I started it Sunday morning and just finished it this morning. I am really proud of it because it pushed my limits to new heights (and it tested my ability to make a jig on the fly). The base is Curly Cherry, sides are Maple with Walnut accents.

The size is 22 inches long by 15 inches wide.

Thanks for looking.

Meager looks pretty good to me. I keep telling myself I’m going to make something like this but haven’t quite got there yet. It’s clean, pretty and practical; a solid combination.

True – take “meager” out of your vocabulary. Nice tray. I could use one here and “still” haven’t built one. Your’s is very nice. Thanks for sharing!

I like it all! Great choice of woods. I love the splines. The curly cherry looks great too!
