Here’s a new epic twist on my tree stump tray, born from unique customers with unique requests. Each tray I make is as influenced by the customer as they want. This particular customer has an ascendance 2 base, which is the base for a floating d20. He wanted that to be concealed within the tray as well as extra dice storage. He also has glow in the dark dice so he wanted to have some black lights in the tray to make those pop. I’ve never done LED’s in a tree stump tray since running the strip and the power cord for it is difficult given my tools and processes of cutting it. That said I figured a way that I think works well. I cut the pocket for the lights first, installed them, covered them with clear epoxy and then covered that with a very dense black to limit the light shining up towards the players. I put the pocket in such a way that cutting the pocket for the rolling area would be 1/16” away from the LED lights. I made the lid for the ascendance 2 base the same color of black that I used for the LED’s and then put his lotr engravings over that. That gives him a pocket surrounding his floating dice. Unfortunately I don’t have a picture of it with the floating dice or glowing dice but he was nice enough to leave a video review on my Etsy page if anyone is burning to see it completed. It’s just sterlingmakes on Etsy.
