Time to build a tray to use as a lap laptop holder with enough room to mouse on the side. I’ve built a few very similar designs, but those were larger with taller sides that I could use on the living room ottoman. This one has two requirements: very small lip around the edge and have enough room on the right side to use a mouse.
Using some scrap oak and white wood panel I created the bottom and four edges. I put a rabbet into the oak edges for the panel to slide into. Before gluing everything up all the edges were rounded over with the palm router.
Final shot:
