As with all things made of wood, every coaster is totally unique, but of course, some are more unique than others. Many of them use the most stunning pieces of timber I have collected, which are often too small and/or too expensive for larger pieces of furniture.
Most people prefer to have a matching set of the same timber, while some prefer to start their collection of different woods. Let me know if you wish to be notified when I add new woods to the range.

After testing many finishes, I have only found one that still looks good after a glass has stood in red wine on it for half an hour. Even so, wipe spillages dry and do not put them in the dishwasher.
Clean with warm soapy water as necessary.
The first coasters I made were for a customer who had purchased a Yew table and wanted some coasters to go with it. Fortunately, I still had a few offcuts from making the table. As is so often the case, the small offcuts were more amazing than anything in the table but too irregular to use in anything large.
The first ones took over a day to make three of them. I have since improved on that by a factor of about 4, but quality always comes before speed.
The walnut is easier to obtain than the Yew or the rippled Sycamore, but that does not mean it is any less beautiful.
