DIY Serving Patio Tray

Move the political party from the kitchen to the patio this summer with this colour-blocked, dual-handle serving patio tray. Made from only a simple forest board and handles from the hardware store, this summer-prepare tray is the perfect vessel for transporting a spread of fruit or maybe cocktails outdoors. Create one for your home in just an hour and entertain all fresco in manner all summer long!

Materials:

Wood board approx. 8″west ten 15″50 10 i″d. We used hickory wood, merely about whatever species will practice.
Sandpaper: coarse and fine grain
Oil-based (water resistant) pigment
Paint brush
Butcher block board conditioner (nutrient course)
Two hardware handles + screws
Electric Drill
Pencil

1. Have the hardware store cut down the board to your desired length.

2. Use coarse-grain sand paper to sand all edges smooth. Follow upwardly with a sanding of fine-grain sandpaper.

iii. Hand-pigment board edges with a pop of yellow paint.

4. Apply lath conditioner to the top and bottom of the lath with a paper towel. Board conditioner helps gear up the board for being wiped down (prevents drying and slap-up), as well as helps conceal knife marks.
