I made this coaster and thought I should share the steps that I took to get my final product.
- Get a decent looking wooden plank and evenly measure how you want to cut it up.
- Cut off the long side of the plank that is not going to be used.
- Cut along the measured line into separate pieces which will be used for the coasters.
- Each piece is slightly uneven. Using the shortest piece, measure the excess wood on each of the other pieces and cut it off to make each piece even.
Ā 
- You can leave the edges sharp but I thought it will be cool to have curved corners. So using a pen and a round container, draw the curves that you will like on the corners.
- Use a āgrinderā to saw off the sharp edge to get the rounded edges.
- Use a saw-paper to smoothen the entire surface of the coasters.
- Drill a hole in the corner of all six pieces.
- With a cylindrical stick that fits into the hole, glue the stick to the hole of the bottom piece (this will be the holder for the other coasters).
- Place other coasters through the stick and done.
- Place on your table and feel a little bit fancy while hosting your next dinner.
There are so many things that could have been done to refine the final product. I could have coated it to give it a glossy look or inscribed some quotes or logos into each coaster or maybe painted it with different colors.
What will you do with the coaster?
