Description

How to use:

• Secure the template to your board using this template tape
• Use a router bowl & tray bit to carve out the inside of each compartment
• Cut away the excess wood around the template using a bandsaw or jigsaw, leaving 1/8″ material or less outside the line
• Use a flush trim bit mounted in your router table to follow the template and finish shaping the serving tray
• Round over all the edge using a roundover bit

Reusable template: This plywood template can be reused if removed carefully and used with this double-sided tape (which won’t damage the wood or leave any residue). Plywood templates may not be suited for large batch production.
