re: Trivets

TucsonTim - thanks! I didn't even know what a trivet was until this video 3x3 Custom did. The other style I found in an Acutabove Woodworking video. Then I sort of figured out what worked best for me with those ideas in mind. 

GeorgeWest -thank you! Already have a request from my husband for some of the second design to replace the ones we currently use for our coffee mugs that have spacing that is a bit wider than optimal. The 3/8 should be about perfect.
