The fire did the finishing.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA nested pair of wooden trays with deep torched-finish grain, slim wrought-iron handles, and a black mirror-finish base. Six pieces. One object.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost decorative trays are stained. Cheap pine, dyed dark, sprayed with a sealant that yellows over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are torched.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wood is held over an open flame until the surface chars — and the heat does the colouring, not a stain. The grain gets darker where the wood is denser. The softer fibres burn off. What's left is a tray with topography you can read with your eyes closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is set with black mirror-finish acrylic that catches and lengthens whatever you put on top — a candle, a decanter, a stack of books. Slim hand-forged iron loop handles at each end. The smaller tray nests inside the larger one when you put it away, so it stores as one object.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaterials\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorched solid wood frame — flame-darkened finish, no stain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack mirror-finish acrylic base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-forged iron loop handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour matching round wooden coasters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge tray: 18 in × 14 in × 2 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall tray: 16 in × 12 in × 2 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoasters: 4 round, matching torched finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWipe with a dry cloth.

That variation is the finish, not a defect.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Havre Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55596653969576,"sku":"HC-TRAY-01","price":229.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0755\/4413\/3800\/files\/havre_tray_hero_9264b08d-8752-41ce-9737-8f62a88e68dc.png?v=1781242094","url":"https:\/\/havreco.com\/products\/the-tray","provider":"Havre Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
