I liked the look of dgom's trivets and the fact he mentioned using up scraps. I have plenty of those.
Slight changes, I went with 4 x 2 slats to get about 5-3/4" square (3/8" thick slats). I also used 1/4" dowels at the junctions just for the extra hold to deal with typical spousal abuse ðŸ¤
Made with red oak, fumed and soaked in Watco.
Radius on the edges...
... and silicone footsies
Great weekend project and I've enough scraps to make 10K more.
Nice job Bruce, I guess there are a lot of us that are using up scraps lately. I just used a scrap I've had for over 25 years. I figured if I didn't use it, it would just get thrown away when I'm gone.
