This may be the last of my Celtic knot trivets. It still has to have a final sanding and Danish oil finish. Getting the over-and-under look with palm chisels and sandpaper definitely took longer than the cutting. The grain of the oak piece didn't help either.

Nicely done. I like the effect of the over, under. Would it be easier to accomplish this with a rotary tool? Just wondering."Still Montana Mike"

Most Difficult Part

Those palm chisels certainly look a nice tool - now on my ever growing list of tools needed.
I imagine the corner lines causing the most problem?
I didn't cut the corners with the scroll saw because I was concerned about the strength of the trivet. It was pretty easy to cut into the corners with the small chisels to get the look I was after.

Well at least you gave it (rotary tool) a go. This turned out nice. Perhaps some basswood instead of Oak is in your future."Still Montana Mike"

Reply to Boys at sawmill were busy.by Kim Stonewill8989, We made a drying kiln out of a plan we saw on youtube.
