The Hand Shaped Tray is created with the traditional wet molding technique.
Balance between moisture, pressure and grain allow the leather to be formed by hand, dried and cured for a lasting shape.
For this style, Peter Maxwell stamps each piece of leather by hand with an antique saddle maker's stamp. He then dyes by hand with a Japanese indigo leather dye.This dynamic dye will evolve along with the leather's patina.
As with all MS pieces, we treat with all natural oils and beeswax, then burnish all edges.
Three sizes available:
Small - 4.5" x 4.5"
Medium - 6" x 4"
Large - 9" x 4.5"

“Stuff & Thangs and Thangs & Stuff“ is the opening line of Bold Soul Sister sung by Tina Turner - one of my favorite funk 45s. I always use this line when people ask what to use the MS trays for. I’ve finally spelled it out in laser etched glory. This theme may continue, but for now, it’s limited to this single tray….
