Benson Juma crafted a beautiful and practical wooden cutlery tray for Ludwig, perfectly designed with compartments to keep everything elegantly organized. What's your wish?
A request by Ludwig from Berlin, Germany
I would like to have a wooden cutlery tray in the dimensions (width 41.5 cm / depth 31.5 cm / height 8 cm). The layout would be 5 compartments vertically along the widest side and 1 compartment horizontally above it. Many Thanks!

Hi Ludwig,
Sorry for the late response. I have completed the outer and inner structure of the cutlery tray and I have uploaded pictures and a video of the process as I was making it. Please let me known if you like it. If you like it I would like to start with the finishing on the tray. Would you like it painted or vanished? Thanks.

Hi Benson, well done! I'd like the box only to be lacquered (colorless).
Thank you!
Best regards,
