I was inspired by a posting on Facebook of a small company making trays in his workshop. I have access to all the tools he used so I helped Rejean pick out some pieces of Poplar wood and off I go. One piece had beautiful live edges but the others only had one side of live edge. Rejean suggested we use a spokeshave to produce a faux live edge look and it worked perfectly. You would never know. I had to plane them down and then smooth out the edges a bit. They were then sanded down and I applied 4 coats of a clear varathane and sanded after the 2nd and 3rd coat. We put the handles on today and I am very pleased with the result. The Sisters will have to wait to receive them until they come this summer.
