The Oval Advantage

An oval holds more grace than a circle, more warmth than a rectangle. This handcrafted wooden tray embraces that organic form—elongated enough to accommodate multiple items, curved enough to feel natural in hand. Each piece is carved from solid wood, never veneer, allowing the grain to tell its own story across the surface. The raised edge keeps contents secure without visual weight, while the smooth finish invites both formal service and casual daily use. It's the kind of piece that works quietly: breakfast tray, dessert plate, catchall for keys and mail.

Thoughtful Design Details:

  • Solid Wood Construction: Carved from single piece of wood—black walnut, cherry, or beech—never laminated or veneered for authentic grain throughout
  • Organic Oval Form: Elongated shape provides generous surface area while maintaining elegant proportions and comfortable carrying
  • Three Wood Options: Black walnut (rich chocolate-brown), cherry wood (warm reddish-brown), beech (light honey-blonde)—each ages beautifully
  • Subtle Raised Edge: Gentle lip contains items securely while preserving the tray's minimal clean-lined aesthetic
  • Heat-Resistant Surface: Natural wood provides insulation—safe for hot cups without scorching hands or damaging surfaces below

Part of our curated collection of artisanal home objects designed to enhance your everyday moments.

Why Choose This Piece

This tray exists for those who appreciate wood's living quality—the way grain patterns never repeat, how color deepens with age and light exposure. The person who serves afternoon tea wants an object that honors the ritual. The minimalist who values function seeks the rare piece that performs without announcing itself. Solid wood construction means genuine heft and stability, while the oval shape offers versatility that rigid geometric forms cannot match. This is an object that improves with use, developing patina rather than showing wear.

Care & Longevity

Hand wash with warm water and mild soap; dry immediately and thoroughly. Never soak or place in dishwasher—solid wood requires respect for moisture. Occasionally treat with food-safe mineral oil or beeswax to maintain luster and prevent drying, especially for walnut and cherry. The wood will deepen in color over time, developing rich patina with exposure to light and air. Minor variations in grain and color are inherent to natural wood and contribute to each tray's unique character. Light scratches can be buffed with fine steel wool and re-oiled. Store in dry environment away from extreme temperature changes.

PSSST!

Material Story

Each tray begins with carefully selected solid wood—black walnut for its rich darkness and durability, cherry for its warm reddish tones that deepen with age, or beech for its light honey color and fine grain. Artisans carve the oval form from a single piece of wood, preserving grain continuity across the entire surface. This whole-wood construction provides strength that laminated pieces cannot match. The subtle raised edge is shaped and sanded to create a lip that's functional yet nearly invisible—high enough to secure contents, gentle enough to maintain clean lines. Multiple stages of hand-sanding achieve the silky finish that makes quality wood irresistible to touch. The final food-safe coating protects while allowing the natural grain to remain visible and tactile. The result celebrates wood's inherent character—organic grain patterns, natural color variation, warmth that only genuine material provides—while serving practical needs with understated elegance.
