Munich-based designer Steffen Kehrle has created these gorgeous tabletop wood pieces, simply called TRAY.
The materials listed are "solid oak or ash," meaning these things are actually monolithic, i.e. carved from a single piece! The grain lines seem to back that up.
That being the case, these must have been made with a 5-axis CNC mill, or the world's most complicated router jig and a whole lot of patience. They come in two variants, TWO HALVES (one flat surface and one V-shaped one) and THREE THIRDS (one flat surface flanked by two V-shaped surfaces).
Kehrle stains the pieces with water-based pigments and seals them with hard wax. There are rubber feet on the bottom, to avoid slipping and marring your surface.
Currently for sale through Germany's Stattman Neue Moebel, they'll set you back €113 apiece.

If you look on the second to last picture as well as the last picture, you will see that the exposed grain is not continuous; it is attached together in the middle. Solid wood doesn't always mean monolithic.
