I like making something as a present to people. For this present I had some very good inside information that my sister was in need of a tray/holder for all her herbs. So I was aware which type of containers she was using and how much she owned. She had about 20, but i ended up decided on making a container for 18 as this make the tray not too large and still hold almost all of containers.
I forgot to take some pictures starting off, but im using 15mm birch plywood for the sides and the bottom is 6mm poplar. In the future I'll try to get a hold of the same type of wood as the finish i used ended up slightly different on both. Wasn't very noticeable but still.
So I added some steps to raise the containers in the back so you canr ead which ones are there and this should also make it easier to grab them. At first i actually was planning on creating a little drawer which you could open from the side however with the 6mm poplar i used for the steps there wasn't really a lot of space so i ended up deciding it wasn't worth the effort and just kept it clean and simple. I also trimmed the edges which was a little bit tricket due to the angle and the corners, but nothing a little hand sangin won't fix!
