This was a fun experiment. When I trimmed my Drake Elm, I kept a few branches. After they dried, I had the idea to make a tray of slices of the branches. Combined with clear epoxy, this creates a unique serving piece that will last for years.

Caution - Epoxy will yellow over time if exposed to the sun. Please use this indoors and store out of the sun. Don't serve hot items or allow this to get close to hot surfaces, or it will melt.

Cleanup - warm water and mild soap. Don't use abrasive cleaners or sponges, etc. or the epoxy will get scratched and become cloudy.
