My aunts birthday was in April, so I made some tivets… “potholders”

Very nice, I'm sure she loved them. What woods and how thick are they?

Dan, Looking good. Glad to see you are getting some shop time.

I really like those. The third one is a pattern on my "to do" list if I ever get back to scrolling. Do you sand all of the inside edges, or is that just my obsession? What kind of finish did you use?

@Toolferone, very much NC woods… Walnut 1/4 inch (from Robert) White Oak 3/4 inch (from last years picnic) and New York butternut 3/4 inch I think… from Charlie (I think it was some kindof nut tree, wasn’t it Charlie?)

Thanks guys!

@Cathy… yes I used a popsickle stick with sand paper to sand the inside edged… not so much fun… No finish… I was debating about this, but they are supposed to be useful, and I they need to be extremely heat resistant, and I though varnish or poly would probably not be good for the bottom of a pot… I almost put mineral oil on it… but then decided against it.

What would you guys have used for finish on these… ???

 

[Charlie]

Dan, Yes, that was butternut, from the sugar bush back home. Glad you found a good use for it. You did it justice:gar-La;
