A Serving Tray for Mother's Day

  • A little over a year ago my wife's favorite Ash tree toppled onto the house in a snowstorm. When we cleaned it up I was able to save two of the logs and neighbor with a bandsaw mill cut some boards out of them for me. This project was build from the first one of those boards that I pulled off of the stack. Ash is a lovely wood to build with and in it's own way very pretty. My wife is happy with the Mother's Day gift...but would definitely rather have the tree back. Thanks for watching...if you enjoy these videos...please...like, subscribe...and most importantly...share! Thank you!

    When a tree has finally given up and fallen your house, it has to be a message from above, especially if your wife had an attraction to it 😊 Stan, I love the idea of using the tree to create loving memories of a fantastic living monument and I hope you make many many more gifts from it 😊 Blessings ॐ

      Thank you, my friend...that tree was special to us and I’m glad that we were able to keep some of it for projects that will always mean something to us.

    Hello my friend.
    A beautiful timber from the stumps of the tree that fell down with a snowstorm. A great gift for your wife's mothers day. A beautiful wooden tray design. You did a great job again. Your partner definitely liked this wonderful gift. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing. Happy Mother's Day all mothers. Great greetings. Best regards...

    It's a bummer about losing the tree, but how cool that you were able to salvage the lumber to make projects like this! I love when there's more history to a piece than just lumber that came from the store. Awesome craftsmanship too!
