I love these coasters.
I made them from scrap wood laying around in my shop.
All the parts were planed by hand.
The meassurements of the different “blocks” are precise, so I wanted to achieve the exact row:
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8.
Some of the used Woods: oak, pine, douglas, mahogany.
I finished them with 3 layers danish oil and 2 topcoats of high gloss laquer.
Thanks for watching and comments are welcome.

1,1,2,3,5,8…. is the sequence known as the Fibonacci rule.
The coasters measure:
2 squares of 6.5 mm x 6.5 mm
1 square of 13×13 mm
1 square of 19.5 mm
1 square of 32.5 mm
1 square of 52 mm
so the squares are a multiple of 6.5 mm
When you put them in the right order, they form a “tile”.

They are very nice and would almost be a shame to use .
My question is how thick are they and is there a backing board .
