Make your own serving trays using router templates. This template allows you to create a 12 inch round serving tray with 3 outer compartments in a swirl formation and a circle in the center.
Dimensions:
Template is 11.75” x 11.75” (300 x 300 mm)
Template is available in 4 mm high quality plywood or 6 mm clear acrylic.
How to use:
Secure the template to your board using this template tape
Use a router bowl & tray bit to carve out the inside of each compartment
Cut away the excess wood around the template using a bandsaw or jigsaw, leaving 1/8″ material or less outside the line
Use a flush trim bit mounted in your router table to follow the template and finish shaping the serving tray
Reusable template: This template can be reused if removed carefully and used with this double-sided tape (which won’t damage the wood or leave any residue). Plywood templates may not be suited for large batch production; select acrylic instead.
