Butternut wood

I had no idea there was such a thing. I have been waiting for inventables to get some quarter inch hardwood to make some coasters for my mom. So I tried amazon and found butternut wood. Wow. So light.

What unique fish coasters! :grinning:

Not sure if I have time to glue an acrylic layer to them.

Oh yeah, you gotta do that! :sunglasses::+1:

I make dice box/ rolling tray combos and butternut is some of my favourite!

Interesting wood, and I also like your fish!

Butternut is a great wood. Lots of the carved high altars in churches were made from it. Nice work.
