I wanted a little tray big enough to hold a mug of tea and a few cookies, also with room to lay down my spoon and the used tea bag after it was wrung out.
I got the idea to make a little wooden one in the shape of a teapot, thinking the oval(ish) shape would be perfect.
I Googled "teapot cutting board" and, voila!, i turned up a couple of cute pictures I could copy.
In no time at all I found a piece of scrap wood, fired up the jigsaw, and had my little tray, and I love it. Corny? Yes. Useful? U betcha!
UPDATE: I found it hard picking up the tray when I had it loaded up with my teatime accoutrement. I had to slide it to the edge of the counter to pick it up which was awkward. So I decided to add a couple of knobs to each side in order to facilitate handling it. They are some old ceramic knobs I had in my jars of odd and ends in the basement. They sort of look like eyeballs, LOL.
