Dado trivets
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
Played around with making some dado trivets (adapted and inspired by 33custom at this link).Mostly left over cherry from my kitchen table. Also little aspen on the one. Ended up using mineral oil as that is what I had on hand. Others suggested danish oil – maybe for a future trivet. I've been using mine (second picture) and it seems to hold up fine and no marks on or by hot pans/pots. Almost makes me feel like a real cook…or not! Others are gifts. Fun to customize each one. Nice to use scraps for something useful.

Bicycle Table
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
My best customer, Shawne, always has a unique project for me to make for her. This one is a bicycle table with a skim board for the top. She brought over the board and the bike and a photo of one she saw for me to duplicate. There is some wood on it so it qualified for a wood project. I had to strategically locate the blocks for the front and back onto the board by sanding all the finish off in those areas and gluing them in place to accept the mounting screws. I drilled through the handle bars and the seat to fasten the board on. There is also a machine screw through the front of the steering column to lock the front wheel so it cannot turn.The base and the board block are all ambrosia maple finished with clear semi gloss enamel. The real wheel support is formed from 1/8” x 1 1/4” flat steel and screwed to the base. It is really stable with that small of a base on it.Cheers, Jim
