Solid Wood Serving & Entertaining Pieces
Designed for gathering, sharing, and serving, this collection brings together handcrafted solid wood pieces made for the table. From substantial serving trays to individually crafted walnut charcuterie boards, every piece combines practical function with the warmth and character of natural hardwood.
Each piece is made in our London, Ontario workshop using carefully selected solid wood and durable food-safe finishes where appropriate. The collection is intentionally small, with individual pieces often produced in limited quantities or as one-of-a-kind editions.
Whether you're setting the table for everyday meals or hosting friends and family, these are pieces designed to be used, appreciated, and kept.
Artisan Serving Trays — Black Walnut
Designed for the art of hosting, the Gathering Tray balances traditional furniture-making techniques with a modern, functional silhouette.
Built from solid walnut milled to 5/8", this tray features a traditional floating-bottom construction. By housing the base in a precision-cut dado groove, the wood is free to expand and contract with the seasons—a mark of high-end joinery that prevents the cracking common in mass-market trays. The corners are secured with 4mm Domino joinery, providing both structural integrity and a subtle, architectural detail.
Whether used for grand charcuterie displays, coffee service, or as an ottoman centerpiece, the Gathering Tray brings a sense of occasion to every interaction.

The Gathering Size Guide
The Social (16" × 16" × 3")
A perfectly balanced square tray with integrated handles, sized for intimate drinks or a curated personal charcuterie spread.
The Host (25" × 18" × 3")
The definitive entertainer’s tray; its classic rectangular shape and deep-profile handles make it the go-to for moving appetizers from kitchen to table.
The Grand Gathering (23" × 23" × 3")
A commanding, large-format square designed as a centerpiece, featuring hand-carved grips for easy transport of heavy-duty grazing spreads.

Our most ambitious piece; a massive, handled walnut tray that provides a secure, portable surface for large-scale hosting and oversized ottomans.
Nature’s Fingerprint: No two trees are identical, and neither are our serving trays. While the shape remains constant, the 'map' of the wood—the swirls, deep chocolate hues, and subtle mineral streaks—is unique to every build.
Your piece will be the only one of its kind in existence.
