Some of our best friend’s dad owns a cabin back in Utah and thought I could make coasters for him of some of his favorite fishing spots near that cabin. In the 3 years I’ve have my Glowforge I haven’t made any wood coasters, so I gladly accepted the challenge.
In anticipation of the day I would make coasters I had bought some cork, finally got a chance to use that. Tried some random settings for cutting and got lucky, probably could have used a slightly higher speed, but no masking and very minimal char.
For those not positive on what the border is, they’re a bunch of fish and arrowheads. My wife said “Wow, these are perfect with the little fish and trees!” Had to make sure she knew what they actually are, but I’m not sure she heard me
To be fair, I’ve actually made 2 coasters previously from wood, but they were just demos of what I could do. The designs of them were more technical than I wanted to produce, so one sits next to the oven, and the other is in a box somewhere, as reminders of what over delivering is
Daiso is where I picked mine up, otherwise this stuff is about 1/16th" or 1.5mm if you’re looking for general stuff. I know there was a while where people were grabbing the ikea place mats and using those, but no ikea near me, so this is what got the job done.
