This serving tray offers a unique style by incorporating two classic hardwoods - cherry and maple, although these can be swapped out for local woods - along with aluminum bar stock for the handles, and a subtle routed detail that you can add if desired. They tray is easy to build, though, using three boards, the aluminum bar, and some screws.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1: Make the Bottom Rails
Start by cutting Two Bottom Rails to size from a19mm x 38mm maple board, as shown in the cutting diagram. Set your Kreg Pocket-Hole Jig for 19mm-thick material, and then drill a pocket hole in each end at the locations shown. Notice that the pocket holes are off centre. That way, when the center panel gets attached, the holes will be covered up. Now you need to drill four holes, as shown, in line with the pocket holes. These will be used to attach the outer parts of the tray, called Wings, later. Use a 3mm drill bit with a countersink, or follow up with a larger-diameter bit to countersink the holes, as shown.
Step 2: Make the Handle Rails
