A handmade coaster set is an ideal project for any beginner wood carver. Chip carved coasters look great with any glassware as the geometric design is appealing and glass reflects light to create attractive effects.
To design a coaster you only need a pencil, ruler, probably compass, and imagination.
Making several coasters with the same design is boring. Try to make every coaster unique.
I finished the coasters with three coats of Pure Tang Oil. The oil highlights the wood grain and makes coasters water/alcohol resistant. In my experience pure Tung oil partially cures in 7-10 days. It takes 20-30 days to cure completely.
The chip carved coaster set is the ideal accessory for an afternoon cup of tea any day.
As always, if you would like to repeat the project please make sure to follow all safety rules while working with woodworking tools.
