Make Red Oak Look Ultra Modern | Making a DIY Trivet

I took a tile that I found at my home center and turned it into a really cool trivet! I was walking through my hardware store and stumbled across some cool tiles. I bought them knowing that I MUST turn them into something. The tiles were too cool not to. I decided that we need a trivet so that’s what I made. Most DIY trivets are a square, trimmed out with wood. They are a nice, clean look, but not what I was going for. I wanted to make my trivet for something larger, like for the main course of a meal. I made it rectangular with handles. That lets someone easily move it around if need to. Or, you can lay a spoon or ladle on it. To make my trivet, I used tile, MDF, and red oak. I used dowel joinery to construct the whole project. I personally do not like the look for red oak or its grain. It’s too grainy for me. I used oak because I have a TON of it and it’s really cheap in my area compared to other hardwoods. To make that oaky oak look less oaky, I filled the grain using a slurry I mixed from water-based wood filler and water. The watered-down wood filler allows the filler to drip down into the pores and deep grain pockets of the wood. Since it’s water-based, it dries pretty fast. I sanded the trivet to 180 grit, just leaving the filler that was embedded into the grain. I wanted to make my trivet black so it coordinates with the tile. I sprayed two coats of sanding sealer over the trivet, sanding with 400 grit between coats. I then sprayed the trivet with General Finishes black poly. It sprays like a dream! All I had to do was add a little hot glue, drop in the tile, and I had myself a stylish DIY trivet! --⏱️Timestamps⏱️-- 0:00 7 Make a Trivet 0:10 Picking Out Tile 0:44 Wood for the Trivet 1:29 Cutting the Wood Pieces 1:52 Dowel Joinery 2:41 Making handles 3:45 How to Cover Oak Grain 5:19 Sealing the Wood 6:32 Spraying the Oak Black •• About NewtonMakes•• I’m Billy and I make fun things.
