He’s kind of taken up this wood working hobby that works great for me since he’s able to help me fix up all the pieces that I work on. I think he did an awesome job with this tray if I do say so myself! He rocked it! Then he stained it in dark walnut then I taped both the corners, put my stencil on top of the tape, traced the stencil and then used an exacto knife to cut out the stencil. I removed all the tape except for the inside of the stencil. I then painted it with some ASCP Paris Grey. I removed the tape and then went over the whole tray with some dark wax. I LOVE how it turned out. The reverse stencil with the stained wood peeking through just gets me all excited in a crafty sort of way!
These legs are from an old antique card table. I didn’t like the top even though it had a cute painting on it but it couldn’t be fixed up and it just wasn’t my taste so I chose to recycle the legs. 
(The tray isn’t glued on so it can be taken off.)
