January 2, 201313 yr great job Lewis, i really don't know what Trivet's are or what they are used for, but I really like these.Charles NichollsSite Hostnicholls61@att.netProud supporter of The Wounded Warrior Project, Homes For Our Troops and the NRAhttp://www.etsy.com/shop/nichollswoodworks
January 2, 201313 yr I like Fred's idea. Are the patterns available?Ron DudelstonSite AdministratorAbove and Beyond WoodWorks
January 2, 201313 yr Author Thanks for all of the kind words. They are really appreciated!This is not my design, stole borrowed it from an acquaintance on another site. He posted a how to blog that gives the basic steps. It can be found at- http://lumberjocks.com/degoose/blog/10460.Actually, our own Mike Dillen makes a beautiful cutting board with a very similar pattern. I think his process is much easier to do especially the fitting and gluing. He even developed clamping jigs to improve assembly.Lew Kauffman-Wood Turners Forum HostTime traveler.

January 2, 201313 yr Author Charles,A trivet is just a fancy name for a hot pad that protects a surface from a hot pan or dish. I didn't know that until Mimi pointed it out to me.Charles Nicholls said:great job Lewis, i really don't know what Trivet's are or what they are used for, but I really like these.Charles NichollsSite Hostnicholls61@att.netProud supporter of The Wounded Warrior Project, Homes For Our Troops and the NRAhttp://www.etsy.com/shop/nichollswoodworks

January 4, 201313 yr Very, very nice work Lewis. I have done some similar work and was very proud of all the work and precision that goes into that kind of work. You sure nailed it. PS Don't allow any one to put a live plant on it, as my wife did mine. You can guess what happened.
January 4, 201313 yr Author If it's like Mimi's cutting board- you end up with a bowl!!Ron Altier said:Very, very nice work Lewis.

January 4, 201313 yr Lew I only wish that I could do that kind of precision work, maybe some day when I get a chop saw/compound miter saw, I will but I don't think so before then Again, wonderful job.

January 4, 201313 yr LOL... My first attempt at a bowl began with a large block of wood that I was sure was hiding a bowl. Little did I realize that it wasn't a bowl at all but a small plate. Wood is very tricky that way!Lewis Kauffman said:If it's like Mimi's cutting board- you end up with a bowl!!Ron Altier said:Lew Kauffman-Wood Turners Forum HostTime traveler.
