Why This Mountain Tray Earns Its Place on the Table
This Mountain design shows a range of peaks receding into distance, snow held on the upper faces and a treeline anchoring the base. The colour work runs through slate blue and cool grey with snow white highlights against a pale sky — an overall feel that is wide and still, never busy. Mountain scenes are the most durable landscape motif — they never date and they suit almost any wall. It is for people who want a handmade object to actually get used. Designed for living rooms and workspaces, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference CP23-1.

mountain scenes are the most durable landscape motif — they never date and they suit almost any wall. In practice that means the finished piece sits comfortably in living rooms and workspaces, where the wide character of the palette does the decorating for you.
The DOTZSO approach here is practical: an unhurried make, and a tray that goes into service. You receive the printed wooden tray, DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip pen, a wax caddy and clear 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 pattern covers the entire base, so the tray looks the same whichever way it is set down.

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.
Finish it at an easy pace, then let the tray carry breakfast rather than look at it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the wooden tray kit in the listing the same as what is delivered?
Yes. The Mountain 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 CP23-1.
Will the Mountain wooden tray kit keep its finish with regular contact?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Mountain 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. Light contact and normal carrying cause no lift on the Mountain surface.
How do I keep the Mountain surface dust free?
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 Mountain palette, slate blue and cool grey tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. Keeping the Mountain piece dust-free is the whole routine.
What proportion of the Mountain wooden tray kit is covered?
The face is drilled across the whole surface, so the finished tray has complete coverage without bare wood showing. The Mountain artwork is drawn so that a range of peaks receding into distance reads clearly at any distance. The Mountain pattern is applied across the entire surface.
Is the Mountain design a weekend project?
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 Mountain design is wide and still, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. It works well as an ongoing project.
What is the largest Mountain wooden tray kit available?
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 CP23-1.
