This amazingly detailed trivet is inspired by the book Angels and Demons by Dan Brown, which featured an ambigram in the story. Ambigrams are shapes that make different words right side up and upside down. This particular ambigram says life one way and death when flipped over. Either way, this trivet will vigilantly protect your precious surfaces from water and heat.
 
My 8" birch wood trivets are 1/2" thick and sturdy. They are treated with Danish oil to harden and seal the wood. Use them to protect your precious table or counter, or hang them on the wall as a decorative piece. They're beautiful, practical, and functional!
 
They make a great wedding or baby shower gift, housewarming, birthday or graduation gift.
Each trivet is designed on a computer, cut out with a powerful laser TWICE and painstakingly glued together to give you the most sturdy and pleasingly weighted final product. It's also a lovely neutral color that can go with any decor. 
 
All of my trivets are made to order. Please keep this in mind as processing time can take 5-10 days.
