This project was a fairly quick one. A set of coasters for some friends as part of their wedding gift. The wood is spalted beech, from a couple small boards I bought about 5 years earlier when I was in Ottawa. The spalting really makes this wood look special. The holder is walnut. Thanks for...

Well, another year has come and gone. These are some of the Christmas gifts for 2011. Although only three sets of coasters are shown there were six sets total. The coasters are all White Oak. To make the bases I used White Oak, Cherry, and Walnut. The ones in the photo are for out of state...

As i said in the last post, I suddenly realized that I have very little time to finish the things i promised people. So, I pushed forward with these coaster.they are "sub standard" to a degree as I usually put 6-7 layers of poly on them but I managed to put only 2 on the poly ones and 2 Danish...

After getting both a used Ridgid 13" Planer and 6" Jointer on craigslist for less than the price of one I finally tackled this staple after getting to know the two machines and replacing the blades in the case of the jointer and reversing the blades on the planer. Just in time because the bamboo...

I started with making the Tea pot coaster set for my wife as a gift and posted it on face book and other friends on face book asked if I could do other types and shapes of coffee coasters and that is how my collection of coffee coasters keep building up. I get at least 3 orders a week and it...

One of my customers wanted me to build this for her. When her husband received the package, he called me up to tell me that the bases fell off! (I guess the wood was a little too green) He was nice about it and told me how to do it right. The wood is Balmagilead, except for the pole for the...

In this video I will be showing you how to make these lovely, stylish drink mats. These were made of bit of wood lying around the shop. For this project I glued various woods together and then made a border. After that I sanded them all down. I applied a couple of coats then waxed them up...

Made from scraps from my previous post (walnut, curly maple, padauk), and also a little bit of cherry from my table. A little bit of sapwood in the cutting board, and an odd number of coasters, but all in all I'm pretty satisfied considering these only took a couple hours to make. Also: lesson...

I've posted some of these on here before when I was messing around with them, now I make them quite often. These are the pallet coasters and pallet trivets I make on a regular basis. Made from scrap wood / cut offs of Oak and Walnut. Assembled piece by piece using just glue then (sometimes)...

So I veneered a piece of pine with oak laminate, as I find that hardwood gives more intricate details. The edges are mahogany and I finished it with Danish oil and spray clear coat. Building the Lichtenburg- Building and burning the coasters- Which is your favorite?

I was able to complete 4 sets of coasters for Christmas gifts this year-set #5 will be done by Sunday morning (hopefully). The first two sets are for the MIL & SIL, mahogany and maple, walnut and maple. The third set is yellowheart and walnut - for a family fiend that is a U of M graduate-as...
