Serving tray

[Dusty]

Here is a picture of a serving tray that I just finished. It is walnut, cherry and birch. It was a fun project putting all these pieces together.

Sweeet!

How did you attach the sides & bottom together?

Also, are those veneer pieces, or solid?

Looks awesome! I've wanted to make one of these ever since I watched David Marks make on on his show, just always found reasons not to. Seeing a mere human make on makes me think I can do it now Thanks!

Steve the bottom is set in a mortise cut on a 15° angle about 1/8" up from the bottom edge. The pieces are solid , about 3/8" thick.
Bad thing is now I have orders for three more for Christmas gifts. Better get busy.

That's beautiful Chuck! I just saw that in one of my woodworking magazines, I forget which one. Is that where you got the plans? If so, you move fast!! I only got the magazine last week I think.

 

[Dusty]

No Keith, I didn't use any plans. I saw a picture of one somewhere and just winged it , I made a miter jig for the table saw to cut the pieces and went form there after a few trial sizes and a slight adjustment of the angle. It is a great way to use up small scrap pieces that we accumulate in the shop. Thanks for the comments.

Nice work..

 

[wolftat]

That is sweet!

 

[ronhampton]

that is some nice work!:biggrin:

That is really neat. It looks so 3 dimensional. It is really beautiful and I am also amazed that it could be made by someone. I think I need to get a table saw. I keep seeing all kinds of segmented pens, etc here and they all require a TB.

 

[holmqer]

Fantastic looking, I love the 3D appearance that the segmenting achieved.

Dusty,
That is a COOL tray!! I like it and have though about it for awhile. you are a better man than I, 'cause I can't quite figure it out....

Keith,
Did you ever figure out which mag you saw a similar pattern in?

 

[MarkHix]

beautiful work! I hope you charge alot for the orders!

Are your eyes crossed after this project?
