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.
