Thanks to gotojeremy for the inspiration to make the serving tray. I wanted to try my hand at edge glueing and using the hand scraper on the maple, purpleheart, and wenge deck.

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

That looks GOOD! Has the purple heart turned back to purple yet?

The purpleheart is a beautiful deep purple now, the camera does not do it justice. The tray bottom is edge glued butt joints, and the end caps and sides are grooves and dadoes. BTW, the purpleheart endcaps on the tray handles were not part of the original design, but after I routed through dadoes instead of stop dadoes  , and I really did not want to go back and make new handles, they seemed to be a nice patch to a botched execution. | |

IMHO - this is a great example of what makes wood working so appealing - Our mistakes give us the opportunity for improvements. Where else does this happen?

Pretty work, Jim.
I like the decorative purpleheart endcaps. Great recovery.
What finish did you use?

The finish was 4 coats of tung oil rubbed out with OOOO steel wool, then two coats of poly, and 3 rounds of wax polish. Thanks for the kind words. | |
