How to make wooden trays with an accent

Since I don't have access to all kinds of exotic wood, I had to improvise to achieve the contrasting glued up stuff I see all around. I used a piece of ash and a piece of thermally treated ash (I had some scrap from an older decking project). Thanks for watching!

I picked the boards i needed and I trimmed them to length. 2. I then planed and squared one face and one edge. 3. Using the thickness planer, I planed and squared the remaining two faces. I had a perfectly square ash board. 4. I ripped a thin (around 2.5 cm) piece of thermally treated ash and planed it to the same thickness as the first board. 5. I drew a diagonal line on the wider board and I cut it using the bandsaw. A jigsaw can be used, too. 6. I flipped the cut pieces of the white board and inserted the darker piece in the middle. I made sure everything fitted fine 7. I applied glue on the edges of the boards and tightened everything so there were no gaps. I left it overnight for the glue to harden throughly. 8. After the glue hardened, I removed the excess using a belt sander (a chisel also works great). Then, I planed the resulting board to the required dimensions. 9. I ripped the board to the final width (slightly larger), then smoothed the edge using the jointer. 10. I marked the width of each tray, leaving a gap between them to have enough room for the cuts 11. I drew the lines that define the outside and the inside of each tray, leaving 7 mm for the thickness of the walls 12. I clamped a template aligning it with the lines. I then routed the inside using a special bit designed for making such trays 13. I had to take several passes. I kept half a mm for the final pass, that I had to do in a swift motion to avoid burns in the corners 14. I positioned the template twice, as it was not wide enough to cover the whole tray at once. 15. I cut each tray after carving. I cut them only after carving because it was easier to clamp the board to the table while routing. 16. With the belt sander clamped to the table, I finished all edges and rounded the corners 17. I sanded by hand using 320 grit sandpaper for the final touches and made a slight bevel on all the corners 18. The final step was to apply the oil. After a few minutes I wiped off the excess and repeated the process.
