First, the wood used to make the serving tray has an interesting story. A local lumber yard gave me some pieces of packing crate that had been stashed in the upper part of a barn since the early 80's. The crates were used to ship luan plywood. They were made of Mahogany. Nice. So this project is an example of wood recycling.
The tray is about 13" x 30" with a glass center. Behind the glass is a piece of fabric. The fabric can be changed by removing cleats on the back of the tray that hold in a piece of hardboard. The handles are actually long drawer/door pulls. The Mahogany was finished with 5 coats of polyurethane varnish.
I'm sure Jessica will get some good use out of this tray while entertaining friends and family.
