I’m often asked if a Cheese Board can be used as a Trivet. Or a Cribbage Top. Or a Cutting Board. The answer, sadly, is no.
Not without risk of the heat from the dish melting the glue in the laminated piece, and, uh, deconstructing it. That would be a bad thing. A very bad thing.
So, I make Trivets.
Trivets are designed with air gaps so the heat can escape without tearing the laminated wood piece apart. That also makes them very light, unusual … and interesting to look at.
Or so I’ve been told. Some people like to hang these trivets on the wall. That works for me!
Trivets make wonderful gifts! They are multipurpose items. From displaying on your wall, to using on your counter, they are a great addition to any household.
