Those are REALLY cool ..
Question - When making a trivit out of wood - that's for putting HOT stuff on, right ? What do you do to keep the wood from discoloring or burning when you put .. say .. a hot pan of spaghetti sauce on it, or something. (I chose the sauce just to see if I could spell it right hahhahaha) ....
Being in wine country (Sonoma County, California - which is COUNTY ON FIRE country now) I make shapes and put wine corks in them .. afraid to have hot stuff sit on the wood.
