Oil based finishes are the most heat resistant.

What sort of solid surface is it and was it something you had laying around or did you get it just for this project? I really like the look of it but not sure where to source that type of material. Does it machine with regular wood tools?

very nice design . I love the shape and colors.

They look great! May have to try and make one.

What a great job, love the frames with the wood. You’ll be making more LOL

I always use an oil finish on my trivets. They look great.

Way cool.

Thanks for the kind words and info guys. @ Vrtigo, I install solid surface so im able to buy it or get small scraps pretty easily. If there is a countertop fabricator anywhere around you that does soild surface, you can prob go to there office or shop and ask if they have any scraps you can take or buy. You can also go to solidsurface.com and im sure you can buy material, glue, etc. from there. There are several types, this particular material is LG Hi-Macs. And basic wood working tools is all you need, you are more than welcome to message me if you have any questions.

Very interesting, I will have to find somewhere locally to get some of that. I take it that it is heat resistant? I have corian countertops and they told me when installing them that I can’t put anything hot on it. I know granite does not care about heat but I assumed all solid surface stuff was not heat resistant.

Beautifully done!
