We just made this tray for the coffee table. I specifically wanted to lighten
up the coffee table top. We left the ***** top unstained and I stained the
rift sawn red oak. I wanted it to be a companion piece to the chess board,
which we made several years ago.

Do I have too much on it?

You do have a small dog. If it does not bother it, and you have no cats, it is fine. Our Coffee table becomes a collection point for mail, same as the Dinner Table. It is your house and after a while, you probably will not even notice it there.

somehow i don't think Knots leaves her mail laying around. no style in that.

It's perfectly fine - more of a matter of taste. At least you're not putting your whole collection on that table. Definitely just the flower vase on the tray would be enough though. I'm not a figurine guy, something about differences in scale annoy me. You only need one item in any given space - showcase them, but don't make them compete for the centerpiece. That's just a guy's opinion - my house doesn't look nearly as nice as yours.

Thanks for the input guys.

Mouse, I already took the little hunter away
and I think it looks better. I do like the
one sitting on the antique music box though.
