It’s been a while since I cut dovetails. I thought it would be a cool idea to make a dovetail walnut tray. I knew that I wanted some swooping lines, and the parts needed to have a soft look and feel. I used some beautiful figured walnut for the sides and I’m really happy with how they turned out.

I made a plaid inlay bottom. The plaid is a combination of woods, all inset into a walnut panel. If you want to see how I made the plaid, check out my video here:    • Making Wooden Tray Handles from Figured Wa...
