Shaker Oval Coaster Set

Project by ShakerBoxMaker posted 279 days ago 386 views 3 times favorited 7 comments Add to Favorites Watch

The is a tall #3 shaker oval box made of maple and padauk. It was made to hold a coaster set. The costers have a cork insert and felt bottoms—they were a pain!

I made 3-4 sets and gave then as Christmas gifts.

Careful they get addictive. I took a class from John Wilson (“The Expert” in Charlotte, Michigan) and I was hooked. They are quick and easy and make great gifts. I’ve likely made over 100 of them now.

My first experience w/ Shaker Boxes was in a class w/ John Wilson in Atlanta 3/93. I have been making them ever since. Our club, ” Mason Dixon Woodwokers”, had John teach a class for us 10/93. Another club member, Richard Bowen and I have been conducting classes since then.
I like the way you inserted the shims to hold the costers in place. i can emagine the diffuclty inserting the cork.
Excellent work!!!!!!!!!

I would love to see a step by step blog on these. I’ve always had uses for them, and the only way I’ll ever have any is to make them myself. Plus, I think they are simply lovely.
