Alas, no banana in the pics. The coasters are about 4" diameter.
I can understand your Dad not wanting to use the set … It’s stunning!
Your posts are also food for the soul.
Just bought a Glow Forge this past month, but have had a wood shop with quality tools for many years. Your work represents the merging of quality work with traditional wood craft, and the use of the laser. I have several hundred board feet of hard woods. I will have to plane some down to 1/4" and try to replicate some of your quality. Outstanding work and photos.
Wow… What a nice gift. The walnut is absolutely beautiful and looks great with your engraving. The amount of thought and care that you put into this set is apparent. Thank you for sharing your work…
Coasters are nice, but I LOVE THE BOX. Great figure and just a little bit of curl. Beautiful.
1/8" clear acrylic over the engravings so he will use it?
Coming up on three years since I gave them to him, they’ve still never been used. They’re on permanent display in his kitchen.
Hall of Fame? Seriously great job. You could tell him you will make him a “useable set” and he can keep those for looks.
