Almost everyone can use a trivet so they make nice gifts. The river is 7.5" in diameter and can be cut from 1/2" or 3/4" thick wood.
When making a wooden trivet, you’ll want to choose hardwoods with a tight grain that can handle some heat and wear. Good options include:
Maple: Its fine, consistent grain makes it durable and attractive.
Cherry: Offers a warm tone and smooth finish.
Walnut: Rich in color and strong enough for everyday use.
Oak or Beech: Also great choices if you seal them well.
For caring for your trivet, here’s what works best:
Clean Gently: Wipe it down with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking it in water.
Dry Thoroughly: Make sure it’s completely dry before using it again.
Oil Regularly: Use a food-safe oil (like mineral oil) to maintain the finish and protect the wood.
Avoid Prolonged Heat: Don’t leave super-hot pans on it too long; consider using a pad if needed.
The second pattern (Butterflies and Flower) is cut from 1/4" thick wood. Coloring the backer board helps the flower stand out.

Think Safety
Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.
