Mitred Walnut Tray

Build Process description available here

This is a simple mitred walnut tray that I made using my travel tool chest and mini-moravian bench while on holiday in France. The sides are American Black Walnut, splayed out at 15° from the vertical. The base is Sycamore, as are the splines in the corners.

This photo shows the lovely grain in the Sycamore:

It was made entirely with hand tools (albeit from wood that had previously been resawn with a bandsaw); you can read the details of the build in the build log.

I am a hobbyist metalworker and woodworker. I work as an electronic design engineer and spend most of my working days in front of a computer so I enjoy having the opportunity to use my hands and make things in my spare time. I particularly enjoy making tools as I can then use them on other projects. This website showcases some of the things I've made.
