This tray measures approx. 12Wx18Lx3/4". We add 7-1/2" black handles plus mar and skid resistant silicone rubber feet which are screwed in place making this handcrafted tray unlike any others marketed. This tray consists of north American Honey Locust with a strip of African Black Wenge accent and then added 3/4" edging of Birdseye Maple. The Honey Locust used here has a unusual small burl like pattern that woodworkers call 'Cat's Paw', because it resembles something of a cat's paw image. Honey Locust is also harder than northern hard-rock maple. All glues and finishes used are not only moisture resistant, but also food contact safe. All my boards have been subjected to moisture prior to finishing, as this raises the wood fibers. We then let dry and follow with sanding up to a 500 grit. We then submerge it in butcher block oil and let stand for 24 hours after which it is then waxed with combo carnauba and bees wax, let dry and then buffed, this tray is ready to go. Simple care involves wiping with damp cloth and occasionally reapplying butcher block oil and/or bees wax, then lightly buff. How often depends on use and what food or moisture it is exposed.
Competitively priced and stunningly elegant and all handcrafted and made in the USA.
