Heart Compartment Serving Tray

Share the snacks, spread the love. This file is a heart-shaped serving tray divided into compartments. A round well sits dead centre, and from it slim raised dividers radiate outward to split the heart into segmented dishes, four wedge-shaped bays plus the central bowl. The smooth scooped hollows and soft rounded rim give it a friendly, tactile look. It's a genuinely useful piece: a nibbles platter, a candy or dip dish, a trinket and jewellery catch-all, or a desk organiser for clips and odds and ends. The romantic silhouette makes it a natural for Valentine's, an anniversary, Mother's Day or a wedding sweet table, and it's the kind of quick, charming project that sells well at craft fairs. As a CNC file it's designed to be pocketed out of solid stock; carved from a warm hardwood and finished, it becomes a keepsake gift with real presence. CNC / finishing notes: • Rough out the pockets with an end mill, then run a ball-nose finishing pass for the smooth curved hollows. • Leave the dividers a touch generous and sand back so they stay crisp and not fragile. • In hardwood, use a food-safe oil or wax if it will hold edibles; acrylic or resin also cast up beautifully. • Watch depth on the central bowl so you don't break through a thin blank. Scale to your stock and round the outer rim for a comfortable, gift-ready finish.
