Popular Post OzarkSawdust Posted November 6, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 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. frankorona, Scrappile, Be_O_Be and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Johnson Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 The trivet looks great Gary. Cutting through 1” Oak can be hard on blades. Well done. OzarkSawdust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxfold Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 That looks good. I could no more cut 1" wood than fly to the moon. Well Done. OzarkSawdust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 That is a lovely trivet, you did a great job. I have cut 1" Oak before and boy was it slow. Marg OzarkSawdust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzarkSawdust Posted November 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) 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!

Scrappile Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Very well done. Cutting 1" oak must not be easy. OzarkSawdust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Knappen Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Looks great, Gary. I did the same pattern some time ago and used 1/2" stock. OzarkSawdust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
