Upcycled Wooden Serving Tray

About a calendar month agone nosotros were guests at the sweetest, nearly beautiful wedding. Such thoughtfulness as well as assist were given to all of the details, as well as I noticed. One of the things I paid attending to was the buffet line. Not entirely was the nutrient delicious, but the catering companionship used amazing, rustic serving pieces. One of those was a huge, alive border woods slab amongst chunky Fe handles on the sides. It was beingness used to concur a delicious spiral sliced ham, as well as every bit I picked upwards my while I idea what a slap-up DIY that serving board would be!

Well, I didn't convey anything quite every bit cool every bit the rustic piece, but a few weeks agone when I constitute this large cutting board that I shared amongst yous from our weekend garage sale haul, I knew only what I had inwards heed for it. (Stay tuned on the tiered piece, I convey plans for it too!)

The board was inwards fairly expert shape, but had plainly been used. I gave it a lite sanding to smoothen the plow over out as well as construct clean it upwards a bit. Then, I rinsed it off, allow it dry, as well as re-conditioned it yesteryear rubbing only about olive stone oil on it. That was only to piece of employment inwards a pinch, I'd similar to brand only about spoon butter (like this ane or this one) to piece of employment on my woods pieces, but I haven't picked upwards the ingredients withal (where practise I purchase beeswax???).

All I needed to add together were only about slap-up handles. This was a chip tricky, only because nearly cabinet hardware attaches from the dorsum side of the wood. I wanted to honor only about handles that would only screw inwards from the top. There aren't real many that practise that anymore! The hardware shop had a real basic pick for a few dollars, but thus I constitute these at Hobby Lobby (they had several options for handles that attach from the top) as well as knew I constitute a winner. They were a footling to a greater extent than expensive, $7.50 each during the 1/2 toll sale, but they totally made the piece.

I applied a footling chip of Rub & Buff to the heads of only about woods screws, made a grade on the centre of each side, as well as screwed them in. Such a quick as well as slow upgrade!

The rustic complete on the turned woods handles complements the woods cutting board nicely, but an Fe or metallic element complete would hold off overnice also.

So, for $20 invested inwards this piece, I intend it's a winner! I floated through a fancy abode decor shop the other day, as well as they had similar things that were WAY to a greater extent than expensive than that. You in all probability already convey something that would piece of employment for this projection inwards your kitchen! If not, I saw these on clearance at TJ Maxx the other twenty-four threescore minutes menstruation for $8, I similar the feet underneath as well as intend it gives a nicer hold off when adding the serving handles. Just continue your eyes open!
