I made this trivet out of 3 pieces of mesquite, turned it and the glued in the cork. It is 9” diameter and 1” thick. i rolled the edge under so a person can get their fingers under it to lift it with a hot dish on it.It is inlaid with turquoise sand from the Sleeping Beauty mine in Globe, Az and finished with Danish Oil and buffed and waxed.I added a shot of the first turn with the mortise in the top for holding it to turn the bottom.Cheers, Jim
