Trivets

Like the way you did these. Add another to the bucket list.

Wow! I can’t let my wife see these or I’ll be making her a bunch for Christmas gifts.

really nice andy, these are true trivets, as opposed to ones i made a while back, mine were small cutting boards, and not trivets, as you must have the holes for the heat to escape, you did a grand job on these….a box and a trivet, a trivet and a box, they were cleverly made by the lumberjock fox…...there is a tune to dance a jig too…

More culinary woodwork… great… just love them… will have to re-watch steves video…

Those turned out cool. I like the extra features you added.

-- Thank You Veterans!

Thanks for all the kind comments again. Charlie, These would be the quickest (and easiest) Christmas gifts you could ever make. Grizz, I made the frames thicker to get them up where the heat should dissipate better. Goose, You can have several of these made before the vid runs its course! I do have a question for you all: Will the lacquer stand up to the heat? I was worried about that.

These are very nice. I too was wondering how the lacquer will hold up to the heat.

As far as the Lacquer goes, I guess it would depend how hot they would have to stand up to. I plan on making a few of these on the weekend, and figure I’ll just use mineral oil, or even maybe nothing.

I doubt any kind of finish short of some sort of commercial epoxy would stand up long to something, say, right out of the oven.

Hmm, maybe a single coat of poly or wiping varnish that soaked into the wood completely. ( I see a test coming).

Andy,

Nice looking trivets! I didn’t watch the video (dial-up is too slow for that). I’ve made a few trivets several months ago that are similar and haven’t gotten around to posting them (again, dial-up takes too long), but I think mine are even simpler than yours. I, too, wondered how the finish will hold up to heat. I used Bri-Wax. It could be that it will just melt!

Great lids Doc! Did you forget to make the rest of the boxes? LOL 8} Kidding aside, they are really nice, Andy!
