This is my first attempt at Tumbling Blocks! For me there was definitely a learning curve to this. Now that I think about it almost anything I do has a big learning curve to it!
This trivet is made from Mulberry, Maple, and Brazilian Cherry. It measures 4 5/8” by 4 3/8” by 7/16”.
I wasn’t going to do anything large for my first try. Not satisfied with my skill level yet!
I made the diamonds on a homemade jig on my RAS. Special thanks to Degoose (Larry) and Patron for there suggestions! The last two pics are lose diamonds to get the right affect.

Very nice, Spanky! Don’t be tempted to spin the finished work around and around for too long. You could get dizzy and fall!

Spanky, this is a very interesting trivet. I have to agree it looks like you did a good job of mating the individual diamonds to produce the block pattern. It definately looks like you are ready for something bigger.
