Modification Time Continued
I have the serving tray clamped to an angle plate and
the angle plate is clamped to my table. I used a 3/4" diameter, 2 flute
high speed steel end mill for the slots. Once the first slot was
finished, I rotated my work piece, found the center line, clamped it in
place and cut the other slot.

I applied a coat of mineral oil first and the
next day I put on a coat of wood wax. Now the wax is too hard to apply
right out of the can so I put a little in a separate cup, set it outside
for about 10 to 15 minutes in the summer heat and then it's ready to go.

| It's Finished
Here is the serving tray all finished. The species of wood are maple,
alder, sapele and black walnut.
|
|
 |
The slots are 3 1/2" long X 3/4" tall.
|
|
 |
A nice small 1/8" radius on the top surface.

It's hard to see my brand on that darker wood.

 |
A few days later I sent it to my daughter and she loved it and it
worked great.
|
|
 |
And it looks like her cat loved it as well.
