Tray
Medicine bottle carrier, Church Family, Mount Lebanon, NY
Description
Rectangular wooden tray with bent-wood handles. The tray has half-lap joints secured by three nails secured along the vertical edge of one side. The handles are secured, one end each, to the exterior of the long side, spanning the width of the tray, by a metal screw and washer. The handles' shapes are irregular, and though they are a pair, have different dimensions and bends to them. The tray's bottom has 18 wooden slats evenly spaced leaving approximately a 1/2" gap between each. The slats are secured to the tray's long sides by mortise and tenon joints. Nailed to the inside of one long side is another board, which rests atop the bottom slats.
