    Default Serving Tray

    I have been asked to carve a serving tray with a wine pattern as a donation to a local charity for their annual charity auction. I found a pattern on the forum for a tray and added a wine bottle pattern in the middle of the tray. When I attempt to upload it I get an error message that the bits won't carve some of it because of depth, but the entire board is only 1" thick so I may have some pattern issues. I have looked in the various stores without any success and would be happy to pay for a serving tray pattern with handles and about 18"-19" by 12" or so....any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks to AskBud as we got together and as he put it "Re-Engineered" the original pattern. I really appreciate his guidance and want to share the result. It will be a long carve, but think it will come out quite nicely. Thanks Bud!!!

    Did you check out Michael Tyler's pattern of the month for April 2011?

    I made a couple of them but I didn't take any pics. Here is a screen capture of the tray bottom. I substituted solid wood for the plywood and carved this pattern (dxf). Maybe you could put your pattern...

    Be advised that this is a 2 sided carve on a one inch board.

    Question.......... I'm trying to make the tray a little smaller since I can't get 14" boards at HD or LOWES (only 11 1/4). I've gone in to the project and "un clicked" all the centering (front and back) and when I select it all I still can't shrink it down. What am I doing wrong OR can I do it (shrink it all) that way? Thanks, JerryB

    The two slopes have restraints on them, hit ctr-A to select everything then deselect them. You can then resize to what you want. After you get it where you want then just slide those two items into place. Lather rinse repeat for the rear.
