I had this designed and made the first one, working through the construction process.  When I was finished, I thought this might make a nice article for Fine Woodworking.  Then in my mailbox I get issue 268 which has Heide Martin’s stylish serving tray.   You can see the similarity with the breadboard bottom and open ends.   I didn’t think the editors would want something this similar.  Oh well. 
     I think the different thicknesses between the sides and ends make the box joint corners one of the nice details of these pieces.  Another detail I like is the exposed bottom you can see through the handle.  I made the grooves in the sides with a core box bit, so the bottom was beaded to fit.   I find this bead a nice contrast with the rectilinear form of the tray.
