Popular Post Denny Knappen Posted March 8, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Trivet #1 and Trivet #2 of a set of 8 designed by Sue Mey and finally finished. The Trivet #1 wood is 1/2" Walnut 8" square. The Trivet #2 wood is 1/2" Cherry 8" square. Cut on the Pegas scroll saw using Pegas #3R MGT blades. After sanding, dipped in BLO, dried for a day, sanded again, dipped in BLO again, final sanding and then a light rubbing with paste wax. Comments welcome.

Yes, I like the Cherry, but I use what I have. Two more will be Cherry and four will be Ash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankEV Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 Cutting of both is fanominal!! However, unlike most others, I have a little difficuty with the Cherry. The pronounced, somewhat diagonal, straight grain seems to detract from the symetry of the cutting. I supposed if lying on a table under a pot or the like it would not matter, But, if it will be displayed as decorative piece it bothers my semces. Cherry is beautiful wood, but it it seems hard to make work in a lot of projects. I find Cherry needs to embelshed with stain to brighten it in most projects. Trivets in general, as these are, do not seem to need a strong grain but look better in wood with a lack of visable grain. Remember, this is just me comenting.

Always appreciated. I did not have a lot of 1/2" stock to chose from, so I used what I had. FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaguarguy Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Great work Denny! The wife has asked for a couple of trivets for the kitchen. Looks like I'm going to have to find some 1/2" wood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
