Tea or Manhattan trays

I like the idea of making a bunch of Manhattens

and carrying them out to the patio for an afternoon visit with friends.

I have the drinks, all I need now is a tea tray...

I've got the handles cut and ready for shaping,

there is a groove to accept the tray surface and a

through tenon to lock the pieces together, and 

the seasonal movement can translate to the open gap in the center.
