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.
