The Gathering Series

from $205.00

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.

Specifications

  • Construction: Floating Base with Domino Joinery

  • Material: Solid Black Walnut

  • Finish: Water-resistant Osmo TopOil (Food-Safe)

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.

  • The Estate (30" × 30" × 3")

    • 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.

Product FAQs

  • Can I use this for a full charcuterie spread? Absolutely. The Osmo finish is water-resistant and food-safe, making it ideal for direct contact with meats and cheeses.

  • How strong is the tray? We use Festool Domino joinery—a professional-grade mortise and tenon system—making the corners incredibly strong and resistant to heavy loads.

  • Is the bottom piece loose? The bottom is "floating" in a groove (dado). This is a mark of high-end furniture making; it allows the solid walnut to expand and contract with the humidity of your home so the tray never cracks.
