Size #5 Oval Stitcher's Tray in an Antiqued Natural Finish

Dimensions: 10" long x 7" wide x 1 1/2" high

Based on traditional Shaker design, this handcrafted tray offers a practical way to organize and display everyday items. In your craft room, it keeps sewing and art supplies within easy reach. On your desk, it’s perfect for organizing pencils, paperclips, or other office essentials. It’s also a useful addition to the kitchen for holding small items or showcasing keepsakes in any room of your home.

Construction Details:

• Materials: The sides of the tray are crafted from quartersawn ash, with a bottom board made from quartersawn pine. All lumber is milled right here in our Embden, Maine workshop.
• Hand-Cut Joints: Each swallowtail joint is individually hand-cut by Robert LeHay, ensuring every tray is truly one of a kind.
• Fasteners: The band and bottom boards are secured with copper tacks, crafted on original 19th-century machines and darkened for a vintage appearance.
• Finish: The tray is hand-dyed in an antiqued natural finish and sealed with five coats of tung oil. This process enhances the natural beauty of the wood grain and provides a durable finish that only improves with age.

Since 1993, LeHay’s Shaker Boxes has honored the Shaker tradition by crafting handmade boxes, carriers, and trays from locally sourced materials. In a world of mass-produced goods, we remain dedicated to craftsmanship, individuality, and preserving a rich history.

We sincerely appreciate your interest in our work!
