Tray wood
A wood tray wants oil and a wipe, not a soak. The rest of the note is how we do that in the studio.
Dry it after you serve. Oil when the surface looks pale. The handles are the part people forget. A tray is not a board. A knife opens the grain, and the next spill follows the cut.
Standing water marks the grain.

A wood tray wants oil and a wipe, not a soak.
Do not cut on it.
A tray is not a board. A knife opens the grain, and the next spill follows the cut.
Tray wood is a note from the studio, not a rule for every house. The pieces in this edit were finished with this habit in mind.
If a piece you have does not match the note, send a question with the name of the piece. The reply is more useful than a general rule.
An inquiry is the way to ask. Nothing on this page is a charge.
Keep the habit small enough that it happens. That is the care these pieces were made for.
