I would appreciate advice on a trivet project i have in mind. I plan to make a large number of these: The plan is to use solid cherry squares. sau 10" by 10", and 3/4" thick. on the top side, I'd like to cut a square form, 8" by 8" and down into the wood 1/4" deep. Into the square cut out, I'd like to compose a stone mosaic with 1cm stone cubes. Then I'll grout the mosaic. It will protrude above the top of the wood trvet surface by 2-3 cms.
How best to cut out the 8" square? Using a plunger router? What horsepowr? What options or accessories should look for in a router? I have a solid table to set it on.
I've never used a router before and need to be educated!
Thanks very much for your time and attention. David
