Large Quartersawn Oak Knife / Cutlery Tray

Artisans : Wood : Trays

 

From our woodworking shop at Sweetpea Cottage, we are pleased to offer this hand-crafted, signed cutlery tray, done in the style reminiscent of Shaker utility trays! Use it to decorate the Thanksgiving table. What a great gift idea for any special occasion!

This is a Shaker style utility, or knife, tray. It could also be used as a general carry-all. It is constructed like the antique utility, or utensil, trays that cost so much more at your local antique shop. This one is made with solid quartersawn white oak,characterized by the grain flecks associated with Mission Oak. The corners have been reinforced with wooden splines, and the bottom is attached with brass screws to allow for wood expansion during seasonal weather changes. The tray has been lightly stained with a brown Mission oak color that is reminiscent of the Arts and Crafts style and brings out the golden color and flecks of grain in the wood. The colors in the photos have shifted slightly, so that the large photo showing the tray at an angle is the most accurate. It is 14.00 inches long, 8.625 inches wide, and 4.75 inches high, from the base to the top of the handle. Built to last, the construction is solid and should take lots of abuse. There is a top coat of polyurethane/oil to help keep it clean, and a layer of hand-rubbed wax, to bring out a gentle luster.

This tray would look good filled with the bounty of the Fall sitting on a table, a dining room buffet filled with seasonal decorations, or on a living room shelf filled with dried flowers. The possibilities are limitless! As with all my wooden objects, this tray is signed and dated. Given the high quality of the tray, the price is well below what would be charged elsewhere.
