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.

I like the walnut splines and the cherry looks pretty appetizing too. There is nothing meager about this, you are just being modest…

They took the words right out of my posting. I also like the way the handles stand proud of the sides. The dark (walunt) splines look great against the lighter Maple. Well picked wood selections. Great job.
