I am working on the Celtic Knotwork Trivet from Issue #22. I finished sawing the base and the insert layer with the recommended 1/4 inch and 1/8 inch BB ply. I have chosen red oak for the inserts. My question is; what is the best way to finish the red oak to get the best to get the grain to come out and a nice finish on them? BTW I will not use this as an actual trivet just a wall hanging in the kitchen.
I will suggest to new users as myself if you have an aggressive saw, such as a DeWalt 788, use a backboard for cutting the 1/8 inch BB ply.
Thanks in advance,
