The idea from Lutz from München:

Hello,

My partner has long unused individual tile tiles that she has brought back from her travels.
I would like to glue these tiles in a wooden tray made per tile, modeled on a tray that we already have and can be seen in the attachment.

The dimensions of the tiles are
15x15x0,5cm
20x20x0,5cm

We tend to prefer darker woods.
Depending on the price, I would also take 2 of each of the trays if necessary.

The trays look really nice, even if they turned out a bit darker than expected. The tiles match very well and my partner was very happy about it. Thank you for such a great and unique product and for an all around positive experience. Best of luck in the future!

Offer from Absolom Dube within negotiation

 

Absolom Dube 21 Nov 2021 12:00 pm

Hello Lutz,
I'm happy to provide an offer for your idea.
The best wood with a darker color and durable is mahogany.
Cypress and pine can do but they're not dark and are softwoods.
You've given the dimensions for the tiles which I'm made to understand should be the inside dimensions. What should be the height of the trays?
Would you prefer matt or glossy finish?
I'll work with Cypress and stain it a darker stain so as to try and work with your budget. Working with mahogany will exceed your budget.
The price indicated if for the four trays.(assorted)

Hello Absolom,

Thank you for your suggestion for the implementation and your offer. Gladly I accept this. To your questions:
The inner dimensions of the tray should correspond to the dimensions of the tiles. The edge of the tray should be if possible 3cm high with a bottom of about 1cm thickness. I would like to follow your advice and use dark stained cypress wood. I prefer a matt surface.
Thank you very much in advance. I am very curious about the result. If you have any questions, just contact me again. Many greetings, Lutz

I've done sanding of the wood and made the frames. The bottom is yet to be attached and the handles. The next step will be staining them and then engage painting process.

Hello Absolom,
Thank you very much for the update. I unfortunately only now realized that there is a misunderstanding regarding the dimensions. The inner dimensions of the tablet should only fit 1 not 4 tiles each, so 15x15cm or 20x20cm. I am very embarrassed but I have only just seen your sketch. Can you adjust the measurements to fit the smaller area before adding the floor or is it already too late? I am very sorry that I did not notice this sooner. Thanks for your understanding. Many greetings, Lutz
Absolom Dube 30 Nov 2021 4:21 am
Thank you for the confirmation. It's not yet late since I've not attached the bottom. I'll resize them all. I'll be keeping you posted so that we can move together. My appreciation for the quick response and may you have a lovely day/night.

Your most welcome Lutz
Absolom Dube 30 Nov 2021 8:40 pm
Hello Lutz
I've done some rectification and was able to achieve the required measurements. Now I'm remaining with sanding, staining and then furnishing for a good finishing.
I'll keep you updated on the progress..

Hello Absolom,

Thanks for the feedback. It looks good already and I'm curious to see the final state.

Hello Lutz,
The trays are complete. I really hope they suit your taste and preference and also believe that the final stain and the furnishing are as per your expectations.
