The mid-century modern curves of this all “edge-grain” Baltic birch europly piece make it an excellent choice for your entry table, coffee table, or anywhere you feel needs a pop of retro style.

This is one of our favorite decor pieces and it’s easy to see why. To make this wooden tray, we took Baltic birch europly and laminated multiple sheets together, then turned it on edge, creating our own specialty sheet of wood. When the wooden tray is carved, “ripples” of the plywood layers create an incredibly satisfying effect.

The organic shape of the tray is all mid-century and ever so retro. It stands out as purely a sculptural decor item, can be used as a catch-all tray, or even for serving snacks *. The curves of the sides are luxurious to feel and will be an eye-catcher for everyone who comes across it.

This item pairs so well with the Organic Coffee Table that we’re often asked if they’re attached to each other! Perhaps you should pick up both!

*if using this as a snack tray, use a cloth napkin layer between the tray and the food items.

Handcrafted in Minneapolis.

MATERIALS
(01) Veneered Baltic Birch

Our decor items are made using a beautiful high-end Baltic birch plywood from Columbia Forest Products®. Each of the 13 layers of the ply are solid wood, and a thick veneer in walnut or maple wraps each face in rich tones. The Baltic birch is a sustainable product and will be very stable as the seasons change, unlike some solid wood products.

While many woodworkers conceal the edges of the plywood, we have made it our signature look to highlight the striped layers. Not only does this give a nod to the designers of the mid-century era, it makes every piece by Hossle Woodworks a work of art, and a unique, one-of-a-kind, creation.

(02) Finish

We finish our products with a mixture of pure tung oil, boiled linseed oil and wax. This means less harsh chemicals when we are doing the work, and a safer breathing experience for you. The end result is a durable, water-resistant matte finish that feels like a silky-smooth piece of wood.

Another benefit to the finish is that it allows for easy repair when scratches happen. Buff out the scratch with a piece of high-grit sandpaper and rub in some Howard Feed-N-Wax® and your piece is as good as new! less
