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.
In order to obtain rippled sycamore I have to visit a specialist supplier of musical instrument woods since they are often the first people to be called when a tree is discovered to have grown like this.
I have called this “long-wave” rippled sycamore because the ripple is like a wave. This is long wave compared to the short wave of the more closely rippled version. I’m not aware of an official distinction between the two.
