đHey snack aficionados and vintage hunters, meet your new centerpiece: a totally restored, hand-carved acacia wood serving tray thatâs as much art as it is an entertaining essential!
đ¤ I almost lost this beauty to the trash heapâits original finish was scratched and tired, and someone was ready to toss it out. Luckily, it found its way to me, Fatima ( yes, I'm a professional woodworker and restoration enthusiast). Bringing it back to life wasnât just a job; it was a passion project, revealing layer upon layer of stunning grain that had been hiding beneath years of wear.
Take a close look at that wood! The contrasting two-tone effect is pure acacia magic: warm golden sapwood frames deep, chocolate-brown heartwood like sunlight dancing on a desert dune. Every swirl and stripe tells the story of a tree that once stood proud in the Philippines, now reborn in a sleek â80s mid-century modern silhouette.
I treated this tray to multiple coats of pure, food-safe tung oilâthe same finish that chefs and artisans swear by for longevity and natural beauty. Now itâs not only eyeâcandy; itâs ready to host your olives, dips, or even candles without skipping a beat.
đ A Slice of Philippine Woodcraft
Since at least the 1970s, Filipino craftsmen have transformed locally harvested acacia into sculptural serveware prized for its rich grain and durability. Acaciaâs tight pores and natural oils make it ideal for food-safe finishes. By the 1980s, these beautifully grained pieces became sought-after exports in boho and MCM decor circles, celebrated for their warm two-tone sap and heartwood patterns.
âď¸ Excellent condition after restoration: no cracks or splits, just vivid grain and a supple matte finish.
đ Dimensions: 12Âźâł (31.1 cm) long Ă 5â
Ⳡ(14.3 cm) wide à 1½Ⳡ(3.8 cm) tall
Whether youâre styling a boho buffet, serving tapas at a dinner party, or simply organizing jewelry on your dresser, this tray brings story, soul, and serious style to any space.
