Star Trivet
Furnished content.

Star TrivetYears ago I took liberties with a design credited to Rogue Engineer for a wooden star. I thought it would serve a dual purpose if the wall hanging could be used as a trivet. I've made them in different thicknesses over the years. They make good gifts, and to improve the angle precision I created a table saw sled. The latest batch are thinner, made from sugar maple sandwiched between hard maple. The maple was too hard for Brad nails, so I made a set of glue jigs from 2×4 stock for the 54 angles to clamp until the glue set. Finished with danish oil and polished with wax. (Polyurethane will leave burn marks from a hot pot.)
