Scrap Wood Woodworking Project - Building a Tray

Building a Tray with Scrap Wood - Good Beginner Woodworking Project

I built this tray out of some scrap wood I had in the shop. This tray was built for a blind auction charity event to benefit the Atlanta Wood Foundation, the cities only non-profit urban timber company.

For this tray build, I used some leftover walnut wood I had from a previous build, as well as some nice ambrosia maple I had on hand.
