Mission Oak Tray, Frame & Maple Rolling Pins

This Oak tray sits perfectly on our leather Ottoman. Again I have used through tenon joinery. Simple, yet classic. It's seen a whole lot of "Chips and Salsa" Sci-Fi movie nights over the years.
Jennifer found the needlepoint at a yard sale and had me build this quarter-sawn Oak frame for it. Notice the rays or lighter flecking on the wood, unique to quarter-sawn Oak.
Many years ago Jennifer found an antique rolling pin with a "Thistle" handle. I decided to reproduce it and alter the design slightly to create one in Maple.
