Title: Local Woodworking Contest
Post by: troy_curtis on August 13, 2016, 05:06:42 am

Here in Phoenix, one of our local wood stores is hosting a contest. It is for trays, platters, and trivets. I am looking to design a tray or platter using an inlay of maple (fall leaves). I am thinking of making them with padauk and yellow satin. Not sure how to make the platter or tray. If anyone has suggestions I am open to them. I am up for this challenge and have until November to enter it.

Troy how complicated you want to make this is going to be your limitations here.  You can make a platter easily enough.  I have drawn up a very simple one as a way of illustration -

Something like this can be easily modified for size and whatnot to make a serving platter.

I made a few like this. They are just a snack trays for party's but could be enlarged without much trouble.
I'm sure it is a Steve Good pattern.
You need to make yours larger and put your inlay in the bottom of course.
