Very nice. Thick too, they should last forever.

These look very nice Ellen and it’s a good time of the year to give them a proper workout!

Very nice! How does the finish hold up to moisture directly on it?

Cindy,
I’ve been using mine for about 4 years and all I ever do is wipe them off… no stains or rings.

I always like the look created by using different woods in combination. Great choices in all your creations.

Beautiful coasters Ellen ,just like everything you make.

Very attractive.
I have one design problem with flat coasters. When used with cold drinks tend to condense moisture on the outside and then the water on the bottom of the glass forms a seal between the coaster and the glass. So when you pick up the drink the coaster comes with it. I haven't found a solution but possibly small grooves in the coaster could help break the seal.

Those look great, like the idea of using scraps on them. Well done.

I really like the designs and the rich color of the woods. Thanks for posting. You gave me a great idea for a project.

Those are awesome and well done. Once a year or every other I use my scrap box to do the same. It's fun to see what you can make from "Nothing". Unfortunately Purple-heart never makes it into my scrap box. Again, they are cool, well done!
