Hardwood trivets No-picture-s No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

This year’s Xmas package for the normal family gift list will be an assortment of kitchen items. Here is item 1 in the package: trivets. Pictured are cherry, walnut and goncalo alves. Finish is danish oil. Great way to use up short offcuts of wide stock. Trivial to make on the table saw with a dado stack. Plans easily available on the web – just do a google search. I added a bullnose edge, just for kicks. The hardest part of the project is sanding, which in this case is tedious, but not difficult.

Great idea. I think I’ll try it. What are the dimensions?

I’ve made a couple of these on the router table – I never thought of using the dado set, it would be quicker. Thanks for posting the link for the instructions.

Looks like a great idea. I’ve always been lookin’ for something besides pot-holders to place on the table. Think I’ll make them a bit larger though…like maybe 1’ square for those soup pots.

The biggest problem that I encountered while making mine was forgetting to do a rotate on the piece when you turned them over. I did ruin a couple when I cut the dado on both sides of the board without turning it 90 deg. It cut the piece off.

I made some trivets for gifts last year and everyone love them. Your’s look much nicer than mine. Great gifts for your family and friends.
