Coaster Sets

Most stylish coasters i’ve seen in a long time. Great job.

I agree – very stylish. Not just your average coaster!
And it’s a family project. EXTRA special.

These look great. Curious on how you cut the cork so precisely.

That is a neat design – great use of wood and an eye catching design.

Betsy -
great question. So, it just so happens that my wife is an avid scrapbooker. One of her tools is a photo/paper circle cutter. It is basically a plastic circle with a razor guide that fits into the circle’s rails. I cut the wood to fit one of the dimensions that the circle cutter produced. The cork is nothing more than shelf liner that we bought at Lowes.

That’s just too cool. Thanks for sharing Fuzzy. This gives me a great idea for Christmas gifts!

Thanks for posting. I know what I’m going to do with
those scrap pieces I’ve been saving.

Thanks for adding your link to the other coaster post….I wouldn’t have seen them otherwise : ) Nice job !

Great idea! May have to borrow this if you don’t mind! Thx

It’s interesting how your design looks like the ones I have been selling at shows and on Etsy for the past couple of years. Of course I didn’t design mine. I saw a similar design in a store in Maine in ‘07 and copied them.

Yep – when we were trying to come up with a design I searched google images and found several like this (some were probably yours!). That was the basis for what we drew up and built. Yours are beautiful!

Nice set of coasters. Did you know that people are really into buying special orders of coaster sets ?? I make and sell coaster sets to people all over the USA right now as a part time job at home. you can see some of the ones I have made and sold on my work projects. I use my computer, printer, router and scroll saw drill press and table saw to make them all free hand. They do make great gifts though I plan on making my dad the black bear coaster set for fathers day coming up. Thanks for sharing Jeff M. the scroll saw artist.
