Peras Series: Outer-Edge Framed Serving Tray with Hidden NFC Smart Tag
Couldn't load pickup availability
Resin flows along the outer live edge of a walnut slab, framing and protecting the organic timber at its center — a serving tray that reads like a gallery piece. Choose your size and resin color, and we pour, cure, and hand-finish your tray to order. Hidden beneath a contrasting-wood inlay on the back, an embedded NFC smart tag links it to a story all its own.
Peras (πέρας) means "the boundary" — the resin frame traces and highlights the natural edge of the wood.
Specifications
- Sizes: 12" × 18" or 18" × 24", approximately 3/4" thick (live-edge slabs vary slightly — your tray is one of one).
- Materials: Sustainably sourced live-edge walnut and food-safe deep-pour epoxy.
- Finish: Hand-rubbed organic mineral oil and beeswax, sanded to a glass-like 600-grit.
- Production time: Each tray is poured and cured to order — please allow 3 weeks.
The Hidden Smart Tag — A Living Connection, Built In
Turn the tray over and you'll find a small contrasting-wood inlay set flush into the back — part of the craft, not bolted on. Beneath it sits an embedded NFC chip. Tap it with any smartphone (no app to download) and a private page opens, unique to your tray and powered by our Tapped platform.
That page is a living menu we can update at any time:
- A personal message — ideal when your tray is a wedding, housewarming, or anniversary gift.
- The story of its build — the wood species, the maker who shaped it, and the day it was finished in our Leo, Indiana workshop.
- Care & keeping — illustrated oiling and washing guides, always a tap away.
Because the page lives online, the story never goes stale — it can grow with the piece long after it leaves our bench.
Care
Hand wash with mild soap, dry immediately, and refresh with food-safe board oil every few months. Use a cutting board for knife work — resin surfaces are for serving. The full care & keeping guide lives on your tray's smart-tag page — just tap to open it anytime.
Personalization
Add laser-engraved names, dates, or logos: after checkout, reply to your order confirmation with your details and we'll send a digital proof for approval before we cut.
