How to make a serving tray out of pallets

Select your wood from your stack of pallets

This is one of the pallets bottom boards that I will use for handles

Cut them to size

Trim the excess

Then cut them in half

Select a few boards for the tray

Cut to the same length

Then I trimmed the ends for a snug fit

Test layout

I cut a few pieces for the bottom

I cut thin strips for an inlay

Set my blade height to the hight of the inlay

Then notched each piece

First notch on all 3 boards

Kept moving and notching till the correct width

A quick sanding and some wood glue

Then clamped it in place

Glued, nailed and clamped the handles

Just need to sand it and stain it.
