CURVED TRAY CENTERPIECE

$29

Building small projects for decoration around the home can be quite satisfying. Consider this little weekend project idea: It’s perfect for a holiday display or can be arranged with candles and glass beads. Either way, it’s sure to be a hit when entertaining. And it won’t take a considerable time commitment to complete. At first glance, the tray appears “carved” from one solid piece of thick stock. But we came up with a clever way to cut out the three parts for the tray from one 12/4 blank of white oak, shaped each section, and then glued them back together. The finished product will leave your guests wondering how you made it!
