Pretty Good On the fly design! Thanks for sharing it!:)nuhobby wrote:Well, this continued with some "design on the fly" to become a Tea Serving Tray (attached). There's a few things I'd do better if I knew what I was aiming toward from the beginning, but aren't they all (projects) like that....

I was going to give you a great big atta boy when seeing the nifty job you did with the top, but at that time it didn't have a use.nuhobby wrote:Well, this continued with some "design on the fly" to become a Tea Serving Tray (attached).

Materials & Finish

what are the sides made out of and what finish did you use?
inquiring minds...
Folks, thanks for the kind compliments.
For materials, I used hard maple for the sides. For finishing, most often I finish the last layers with water-based polyurethane since it is almost odorless. But this is a case where for the early layers of finish I use something 'organic' which penetrates deeper and looks richer. So, for the walnut veneer, I had spray shellac followed by brushed poly. For the maple I had one layer of wipe-on oil finish, followed by brushed poly. (Some time back I learned that water-based poly alone doesn't look very rich on walnut, especially at the end-grain, where it can look almost white.)
I've yet to see if the tray may be too 'slick' for serving tea... one day at a time!

You could always glue down some of that shelf lining rubber stuff....nuhobby wrote:
