Thanks,
I was gone for a few days and just got back. I really appreciate your comments. I will post the finished tray w/ pics soon. It fuctions as a centerpiece on a dining room table or kitchen island. It can hold candels, flowers even the days mail In the womanns home it will match her kitchen and go nicley with her dining table I designed for her several years ago.
Alan , the tenons are loose , but real....it allows a more precise alignment which is critical. The single wedge is all thats needed and also used often.
Thanks again.
