Hand wash gently, dry promptly, and never soak or put solid wood in a dishwasher. Recondition when the wood looks dry. Can be used for slicing or chopping, but marks will show.

Grain and color vary naturally. I keep a variety of warm colored woods from light to dark readily available for serving trays. Live-edge slabs also vary in outline shape, and exact dimensions.

These are primarily presentation pieces for hosting and showing the character of hardwoods, not replacements for a heavy-duty chopping block

Before you choose a board.

Handmade wood is a wonderful gift for someone who enjoys entertaining or appreciates natural materials. A few things are worth knowing up front.

Looking for something meant for chopping?  You may prefer a heavier duty end-grain cutting board.

LIVE EDGE TRAYS

CUSTOMIZE YOUR TRAY

All trays are built to approximately 3/4-1" thick.

Optional thickness and/or enhancements priced separately.

Spalted Maple tray Shown with optional live edge feet.

Natural contours and grain make every piece unique. Shown here in Black Walnut with both heart and sapwood

No two tree slabs are ever quite alike, and that's what makes working with live-edge wood so special. Rather than cutting away its natural character, our live-edge serving trays embrace the flowing contours, beautiful grain patterns, and distinctive features that make each piece unique. 

Each tray is individually shaped, sanded, and finished by hand with a flowing handle. Careful attention is given to preserving the natural beauty of the original tree it came from.

Whether used for serving appetizers, displaying a charcuterie spread, or simply adding a beautiful natural element to your home, these pieces are designed to be both functional and beautiful.

Showcasing the beautiful variety of natural colors, grain patterns, and shapes found across different hardwood species.

BEST FOR:
Someone who appreciates distinctive décor, natural textures, organic shapes, and beautiful serving pieces.

LIVE EDGE FEET:
For a more elevated presentation, select handcrafted live edge feet that raise the tray slightly off the surface below. This optional upgrade adds sculptural character and gives the piece a distinctive display presence.



Hardwood Serving Trays

CUSTOMIZE YOUR TRAY

All trays are built to approximately 1" thick.

For a little extra personality, optional exotic and tropical hardwood accents introduce rich colors and striking contrast throughout the board.
