    Default Quick project: Sushi Trays

    One of my favourite cuisines is Japanese.

    One afternoon after clearing out my renovated workshop I found bits and piece of timber - bound to happen after all the penturning... So I decided to make my own set of Sushi Trays.

    Timber combinations I've used are:

    Huon Pine & Jarra

    Queensland Maple & Tasmanian Blackwood


    Pretty simple and very useful chowing down on Japanese dishes!

    I've added the project plan and step-by-step video on my blog - Sushi Trays « TimberBits Blog

    Very nice. Do you forsee any issues with the long-grain to end-grain joints ?

    Cheers

    Gluing end grand to long grain is well understood to be a very weak joint.

    That is why I use the domino biscuits to reinforce the joint. Domino biscuits is basically a loose mortice and tenon joint which will greatly increase the strength of the joint.

    Because the trays will get washed in soapy water, I also use Titebond III which is a waterproof PVA Glue.

    These two factors combined will greatly increase durability of the joint.
