My friend Lew is going to be a birthday boy tomorrow. So I made him a tray...Zebra / wenge legs. Very thin...a lot of work! But there is only one Lew!

Daly's Ben Matte...wet sanded w/ wet and dry 400...only one coat so far.... 3 coats should be good

A very nice tray Mark. Then again, I knew it would be when I saw your name! It looks nice now; will 2 more coats of finish be noticeable in a photo?

In the photo the difference is not apparent , to the touch and the eye.....especially mine it is real different

Last night we went out with Lew and Dottie and we gave him the tray. He really liked it. He asked a lot of questions . Dinner was very good I had a blackened Ono fish sandwich and a very nice Cabernet (Santa Rita Reserva)
Thanks for your comments, I enjoyed making it for a close friend.

Inspiring. I'll name my rendition the "Singer Tray." (if you don't mind) I have a slab of rosewood that I didn't know what to do with.

That's very nice, Mark. I know you like the zebra/wenge combination, for good reason. I've now used those woods together on several projects, after having admired one of your earlier examples.

That curved lip seems to be a trademark of yours. I hope you don't have to hog away 60% of the zebrawood to get it, but I don't see any alternatives.

Great work.
