Coasters

Project by Colin posted 124 days ago 497 views 0 times favorited 14 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I subscribe to Woodcarving Illustrated and saw some coasters in the Fall 2008 issue described by Barry McKenzie, the square coasters were Barry’s designs. The octagonal coasters were produced from designs created by Roger Strautman. They are now in use at home, they are quick and easy to make. I hope you like them.

Beautiful…it almost hurts me to think someone would put a wet glass down on that beautiful wood and carving.
But…that’s what they are for.

Nice work, but if I could carve and had the patients to do it I wouldn’t have a shop full of expensive power tools. Hand carving is not one of my talents. I do appreciate the work of others.

Do you do chip carving? I tried it for a while and found I do not have the penitence to sit that long in one place. I have a lot of respect for those that can Nice job.

Nice chip carving. That first ones very nice. Not so sure about the quick and easy part. Chip carving proves to be very time consuming to me. I bet the guys from woodcarvingillustrated.com would like to see these posted there as well. Thanks for sharing

good job.really like the 8 sided ones. I thought about making some chip carved coasters. I had an idea to use a clear epoxy resin on top of the project so it would hold up over time by protecting the carving. What do u use poly?
