Wood He, Could He

We like our wood like we like our cheese: well-aged.

In serving trays by Union Wood, a vintage furniture and lighting company
in Vancouver, the two come together. Using reclaimed wood from a
downtown RCMP horse stable that stood over 100 years ago, each sturdy
tray is treated and given distressed steel handles, making them
one-of-a-kind and very old world.

And like a good wine, these too get better with age.
