Handmade Bath Tray For Mothers Day

With Mothers Day approaching I wanted to make a handmade gift for her. She is a big fan of relaxing in a nice hot bath so I thought I would make a wooden bath tray for her.

I had this old piece of wood that came out of a pub cellar. I used to have barrels of ale resting on it. The old cast iron bandsaw came in very handy to rip it down into usable bits of wood.

I cut curves on the ends so it would hook over the bath.

So that any water could drain out of it, I drilled a grid of holes into the bottom. This is functional but I also like the look of it.

I added a brass tea light insert to each end of the tray so she can relax by candle light. Here is an affiliate like to them https://amzn.to/38fn1cp
