Why This Red Truck Tray Earns Its Place on the Table
A vintage pickup in profile carrying a tied-down pine tree in the bed, cab and chrome picked out in highlights forms the subject of this Red Truck piece, worked in barn red bodywork with cream trim against a winter white ground. The character is nostalgic and cheerful, and it stays that way at any distance. A red truck with a tree is the modern farmhouse shorthand for the season, and it holds its place through winter. It is aimed at hosts who care about what the food arrives on. Designed for Christmas displays and farmhouse interiors, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference CP26-1. The chrome and glass are worked in cool greys over the warm body, which is what stops the truck reading as a flat red shape It is the kind of choice that reads as deliberate rather than decorative.
a red truck with a tree is the modern farmhouse shorthand for the season, and it holds its place through winter. That is what makes it a natural fit for Christmas displays and farmhouse interiors rather than a statement piece.
DOTZSO designed this one for slow sessions and long service, not for a display cabinet. Alongside the tray you get DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy and pictorial instructions.
The tray body is the part that matters. The printed surface is sealed after the drills are seated, so the tray takes hot mugs and plates without marking.
The base is drilled edge to edge, which keeps the tray looking deliberate at any angle.

How to Make It
- Lay the printed tray face flat and let it settle before starting.
- Find the legend strip and match the first symbol to its drill colour.
- Press the pen tip into the wax caddy, then touch it to a drill – the drill lifts and stays on the tip.
- Set the drill onto the matching printed symbol and press lightly. Work one colour block at a time rather than across the whole tray.
- Continue until the face is covered, then press the finished surface flat with a book for an hour to seat every drill.
- Seal the surface fully before the tray goes into service, or the drills will lift under a plate.
Go through it one colour block at a time, then let the finished tray earn its keep.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Red Truck wooden tray kit complete on arrival?
Yes. The Red Truck wooden tray kit ships complete with the wooden tray and cut-in handles; you drill the printed face and then the tray goes into service, plus the DOTZSO resin drills, tray, applicator pen, wax caddy and pictorial instructions. Nothing else needs sourcing. Reference CP26-1.
How durable is the finished Red Truck wooden tray kit?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Red Truck design holds under normal use. The surface is sealed, so it handles mugs and plates in normal use. Very hot pans straight from the hob are another matter — use a trivet, and the sealing step is the single biggest factor in how long the finish lasts. The resin drills bond firmly across the Red Truck pattern.
Is the Red Truck wooden tray kit dishwasher safe?
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately. Do not submerge it or put it through a dishwasher — the adhesive layer under the drills is not built for a soak. For the Red Truck palette, barn red bodywork tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. The Red Truck surface cleans up with minimal effort.
How dense is the drilling on the Red Truck design?
The face is drilled across the whole surface, so the finished tray has complete coverage without bare wood showing. The Red Truck artwork is drawn so that a vintage pickup in profile carrying a tied-down pine tree in the bed reads clearly at any distance. Nothing on the Red Truck face is left untreated.
How long would a beginner need for the Red Truck wooden tray kit?
Plan for a few sessions rather than one. Working a single colour block at a time is faster than moving across the tray at random. The Red Truck design is nostalgic and cheerful, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. The Red Truck design suits working one colour block at a time.
What are the dimensions of the Red Truck wooden tray kit?
The range covers 7.8 × 11.8 in, 9.8 × 13.8 in and 12.2 × 16.1 in, so there is a format for a bedside table or a full dinner service. This listing is the 9.8×13.8 in format. Reference CP26-1.
