The project
I made this timber fruit tray using Hardwood Multi-Use panel 1200 x 300 x 17mm from Bunnings instead of using single pieces of hardwood, which would have had to be glued into panels. This saves build time and cost of materials.
The tray didn’t take long to make, approximately four hours. It took longer to think about the idea of how to build it. No nails or screws were used, just glue and biscuit joints.
I used a 12mm spiral carbide router bit, just took small depth cuts.
I finished the tray with three coats of clear water-based varnish, also from Bunnings.
