Tile Trivets

These are 2 of the 4 trivets I made for Christmas presents this past year. The plan was from Woodworking Magazine (http://popularwoodworking.com/article/tile_trivet)

I’d picked up the tiles over a year ago during a trip to Banff. The wood is all QSWO and finished with BLO and amber shellac. The top has BLO + amber shellac + dewaxed shellac + Arm-R-Seal satin. The finish was rubbed out with steel wool and wax. I cut it close and finished the last 2 on Christmas Eve :)

The pictures aren’t the best as I had little time to take the photos before wrapping them. That and my camera has started to go.
