A request by Andreas from München, Germany

The Journey of Creating Made to measure cutlery tray, L: 46 cm W: 12,4 cm H: 5 cm
Negotiation & Planning
Hello Andreas, my name is Daniel and I’d like to make your cutlery tray. The measurements are clear. Which type of wood would you like me to use? I can suggest to use Cyprus, Would you like me to apply any vanish? The thickness of the timber I'll use is 10mm so it's inner compartments size will be 3.5cm as you have given the outside measures (12.4cm)
Once I get this information I’ll make a quotation and begin the job as soon as possible.
Thank you
Hi Daniel,
Thx for your response!
I will go with your recommendation regarding the type of wood.
3,5 cm width should be fine too. And I like your idea of applying glaze.
The second cutlery box shall please have no inside walls.
I have attached images for further clarification.
Looking forward to your offer!
Kind regards

Hello Andreas
My name is Noel, local operations manager, Nairobi. I’m currently doing the quality review of the two trays where I’ve noticed the following:
1. One of the trays has a width of 12.2cm instead of 12.4 cm
2. Some parts of the timber used had a dark stain as shown in the photos I’ve uploaded.
Can we still ship the trays?
Regards
Noel
Hi Noel,
Thx for your update.
All looks fine for me and the products may be sent out.
