« A new trivet idea
The beginning of stained woods »

DC Star

I think I’m getting this one worked out.

I worked on a sample version on a warped pine trivet that I had lying around.  I snapped a few pics to show the process if anyone is interested.  I’ve already changed my mind, and it no longer fits on the 9 inch square that I was using.  I added a line outside the big star, and it looks like I’ll need to reduce the size.

I purchased a new circle cutter, and was pleased to find out that it seems to work well for painter’s tape!  I’m looking forward to doing an offiical version.  Yes, I have a few more changes in mind.

    I love your stained wood projects! The coasters I have are still among my favorite things around the house, and visitors comment on them as well.

    I love the new DC trivet design. I use my 2 everyday. I even put dishes right out of the oven on them.
