Illusion Trivet
This has an illusion of sometimes being a cross with white ends, and sometimes being an X with red ends.
This is a variation of a “Rolling Star” quilt block trivet or coaster. If used as a trivet I would not take a pan right off the stove and set it on it. Pour the contents into a dish and then set the dish on the trivet. It can withstand some water but it would be best not to let water stand on it very long. It is made using diamonds and triangles from different kinds of wood, all in their natural colors. There are 32 pieces on this block, 16 diamonds and 16 triangles, all full size. It measures 5” across. To finish them, I use 5 or 6 coats of a clear wiping varnish, rubbed in by hand
The type of wood is listed on the bottom, from the center out. On this quilt block the wood is “Walnut”, “Cedar”, and “Hackberry” from Missouri.
On the bottom I signed it, listed the wood, and dated it. After the date, the words “Foot Cut” let you know I made it on a foot powered table saw.
