9.2. Circle tray unpainted fishes

🪵 This round tray is engraved with a school of fish swimming in different directions across the surface, left in the wood's natural reddish-brown tone with no added paint. Its carved pattern gives a simple round tray a lively, nature-inspired detail.
ABOUT THIS PIECE
The tray is cut from solid wood with a raised rim framing the main surface, which is engraved with multiple fish silhouettes carved in different sizes and orientations as if swimming together. The carving is left unpainted, letting the natural wood grain and tone show through.
WHERE TO DISPLAY IT
It works well as a serving tray for snacks or appetizers on a coffee table, and its engraved fish pattern also makes it a charming standalone piece propped on a shelf or leaning against a backsplash. It suits a kitchen with a coastal or nature-inspired theme.
CARE AND HANDLING
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry right away rather than letting it air-dry, working carefully into the carved details. Avoid soaking it or placing it in the dishwasher, and apply a food-safe oil occasionally to keep the grain looking rich.
