I made this serving tray with Walnut, Maple, and Cherry wood. I used Cherry wood for the sides and handles. I started by glueing the bottom together. Next I glued the sides on the bottom. I made the sides and bottom longer so I could trim them together on my table saw sled to get a nice even cut. I made a pattern so all my handles are the same. I rough cut the handles slightly bigger using my band saw. I rough cut out the hole for the handle. I used painters tape and super glue to temporarily attach the pattern to the handle. The router table with a flush trim bit was used to cut the handle to the same exact size as the pattern. I took the pattern off and traced the side to the exact size of the serving tray. I trimmed down the handle, then marked for the dominos. The Festool Domino joiner was a bit costly, but for me it was worth buying. I put four dominos in each handle. I use Titebond 3 for my wood projects. I glue both handles at the same time so I could clamp them together to be efficient. I always try to think if ways to save time in my woodwork processes. Time is money, or something like that. I usually wait over night to remove the clamps. After I take the clamps off, I route the edges and sand the board with 80 and 120 grit sand paper. Next I spray water to raise the grain before the final sanding. My final sanding I use 220 grit sand paper. To see if anyone reads this, simply comment the word “handle”. Before the final sand I burn my logo on the bottom of the serving tray. Then after sanding with 220 grit, I apply the finish. I use Furniture Butter from the company Walrus Oil.
