Coaster Sets

Project by FuzzyDove posted 274 days ago 373 views 19 times favorited 7 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This year my wife and I were determined to not ruin Christmas with meaningless gifting from store bought garbage. So we designed and built these coaster sets that we gave to all of our close friends and family. They are made from walnut and cherry. The slotted storage base is layered walnut and cherry to give a complimenting look. The finish is multiple polyurethane coats for durability. Each coaster has cork that sits in a recessed circle so as to be flush. We made this a family affair – the boys helped with the sanding and finishing. My wife cut all the cork circles.

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.

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