Size #3 Oval Stitchers Tray, Antiqued Natural with Red Floral Paper

This Shaker-inspired oval tray in an antiqued natural finish with a papered interior measures 7.5" long by 5" wide by 1.25" tall.

Paper Lining

The tray features a papered interior using high-quality vintage-style paper. Each lining is applied using a careful multi-step process: the paper is sealed to strengthen the fibers, fully adhered to the tray interior, and finished with a protective matte topcoat. This creates a smooth interior surface designed for long-term durability.

A versatile tray with countless uses. In your craft room, it helps organize sewing and art supplies. In your office, it keeps binder clips and other supplies handy. It also works well for holding small kitchen items or displaying keepsakes anywhere in the home.

Construction

Materials: The side of the tray is constructed from ash, and the bottom board is 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.
Fasteners: The band and bottom board are secured with copper tacks made on original 19th-century machines.
Finish Options: Available in a variety of milk-paint and natural finishes. Painted trays receive two coats of a high-quality tung oil finish; natural-finish trays receive five coats.
Aged Appearance: Copper tacks are darkened for a traditional look. Following tradition, the bottom of painted pieces is left unpainted, then dyed and oiled for an aged patina.
