There is no reason why you could not.  The thing about trivets is rather you are going to put a finish on it or not.  Most folks that I know that make a trivet use something like Tung Oil or BLO or one of the other penetrating hardening oils.  Some use Mineral Oil.  Hope this helps your decision making.
