I saw this in my latest Make - Magazine email and thought it looked like a fun, quick project.
And here is the finished coaster.

Yes, that’s beta proofgrade plywood. (I emphasize the beta because we’re constantly striving to improve the materials!)

A perfect application for tongue depressors!

By the way, if you intend to make this yourself, I don’t know the measurements for tongue depressors or Popsicle sticks, but at the 9/32" measurement that she lists in the article, you will have a LOT of gap using 5 sticks spread over 3 7/8". I used 15mm width on my slats.

Tongue depressors are typically 3/4" wide and 6" long. May have to sister them to give the right thickness.

Really cool idea and nice execution! My only suggestion is to make it a more proper pallet by adding cutouts to the side and center cross-beams like this:
That way a forklift can pick the pallet up from all four sides.

Love the mini Forklift. 
If you had that you could build a whole factory worth of pallets for it with the Glowforge.
