    Default small silky tray

    I have just finished this silky oak tray made from the plans in a woodsmith mag. The oak is recycled from the dump and looking at the style of finish that was on it, and the timber it was with, I would say that it was at least 50 years old.

    Anyway it was really only a project to practice my lap joints and fitups. Not a fastener in sight, only glue.

    Finished with 2 coats of danish oil and planing on another couple to try to bring up the lustre.

    Lovely work! Very neat lap joins! I can just see a pair of fine bone china tea cups, a pretty teapot and those tiny cucumber sandwiches, you know, the ones you are supposed to eat with your little finger sticking out....

    In other words, Very Classy!

    I reckon it is a great project. Your work is tidy and mitre joints look great.

    I quite like it.
