Trivet

[OzarkSawdust]

Finished up my first trivet this morning. Didn't have any 1/2" Oak wide enough...so I used 1" Oak. Finished with butcher block oil. I used #5 Pegas and just chugged on through. 

I think it'll be 1/2" from now on...lol

It's a Steve Good pattern with all initials and plain also. I think I'll have to make several more, in 1/2" this time, for the kids before we go up there for Thanksgiving.

The trivet looks great Gary. Cutting through 1” Oak can be hard on blades. Well done.

That looks good. I could no more cut 1" wood than fly to the moon.  Well Done.

Looks great Gary! I usually make my Trivets from 3/4” material.

It cut OK…just seamed slower. I think I went through 4 or 5 blades. Didn't have to worry about blow out like when cutting Baltic Birch ply...LOL

How many blades would you use doing a cut like that from 1" nominal? It wasn't really 3/4 either, more like 7/8 or so...came from Lowe's.

I've got a piece of Maple, Oak, and mahogany coming from Ocooch, should be here by Friday. Trying to find a source of good wood at good prices.

That is a lovely trivet, you did a great job.  I have cut 1" Oak before and boy was it slow.

Thanks Marg! Yes it is slow, and blade eating too. I went from the trivet to a trumpet I'm doing for a cousin (he just sent me a copy of his new release CD) done in 1/4" BB Ply. It was like going from a riding lawn mower to a race car! I have to be extra careful that I don't go too fast and cut what I don't want to!

Very well done.  Cutting 1" oak must not be easy.

Looks great, Gary.  I did the same pattern some time ago and used 1/2" stock.
