Oval Mahogany Tray - Traditional Furniture Maker

An oval tray made from an old mahogany table top. This tea tray features a experimental marquetry piece in the center, made by cutting a real conch shell to yield a cross section - and using this a part of the inlay. The veneer used to fill the shell is burr sequoia. I used walnut stringing, sycamore cross banding and a full traditional shellac french polish. This tray is made entirely with hand tools and hide glues. Website now live at : https://www.htmorris.com/ Instagram:   / htmorrisfurniture   Facebook:   / htmorrisfurniture
