My assistant is retiring at the end of the year, so I made this serving tray as a thank you gift.  It is similar to a design from a year or so ago, but a bit narrower, has more splay to the ends, and is in red oak with a book-matched solid bottom.

I shaped the edges similarly, with a roundover that increases towards the middle, but this time I left the outside edge as a sharp corner.  I like the contrast between hard and soft edges and I think it makes the inside edge design pop more.

For Christmas, my parents wanted me to make a second rolling cabinet for their camper, matching one I made two years ago.  

It was interesting to go through a process again with so much time - and hopefully more skill - in between.  Many parts of the build went more smoothly than I remember.  In particular, building and attaching the face frame and rear panels was much easier with Dominos.  Last time I did it with splines and brads.

I do still get frustrated working in plywood.  It just seems too easy to plane or sand through the veneer.  Also, I made the same mistake I made two years ago with the hinges.  The description on Lee Valley does not make the overlap measurement obvious and my design different from the hinges.  I ended up buying some adapters - a waste of money if I would have taken better notes or had better memory.
