Create Trivet Blank & Run Easel File On One Side

I ran the Easel file on one side first, then flipped the trivet over and rotated it 90 degrees.

Roundover Edges, Sand & Finish

After the X-Carve is done, all that's left to do is finishing. I rounded over my edges, did some sanding, and applied a few coats of polyurethane.
