Construction:

• Materials: The side of the tray is constructed from maple or birch and the bottom board from quarter-sawn pine. All lumber is milled at our shop here in Embden, Maine.
• Hand-Cut Joints: The swallowtail joint is individually hand-cut by Robert LeHay, ensuring each piece is unique.
• Fasteners: The band and bottom board is secured with copper tacks made on original 19th-century machines.
• Finish Options: Available in a variety of milk paint and natural finishes. All painted pieces receive two coats of a high-quality tung oil finish, while natural finish trays receive five coats. This oil finish ensures that the tray is well protected and the finish will only get better with age.
• Aged Appearance: Copper tacks are darkened to provide a vintage look. Following tradition, the bottom of painted pieces is left unpainted, then dyed and oiled to provide an aged patina.
