I’ve seen versions of this around, so I simply had to make my own take on “Family Scrabble Coasters.” I love how they came out! I wanted to keep all of the project limited to what I can cut/engrave on the Glowforge (Basic), so I made the coasters just over 3" square so all 6 would fit on a rack that also fit on a piece of Proofgrade.
I’m trying a version in Walnut now. I’m going to paint the letters/numbers white. I think it’ll look even better. We will see…
Wonderful work! Should be a big hit…
That’s cool! 
These are fun. I imagine people would also go crazy for custom sets with their family name(s).
What a great idea!! Love the look!
Really super cute!
I know, right? The one challenge I’ve faced is to keep the set at a reasonable length while keeping each coaster large enough to use as a coaster. I can’t do more than 6 at 3” square and still cut everything on the Glowforge (Basic), so that eliminates a lot of family names due to length. Also, making the rack longer makes it fairly unwieldy in terms of overall size for useful placement in a room. See what I mean?
Well for accuracy you need to have seven tiles. 
Maybe you don’t do the rack on the glowforge?

Very nice work! Gosh, now I really wanna play. And with my old eyes a full set like that might just to the job!
Sure. I’ve thought a lot about options like that, but I’m also thinking about overall placement in a home somewhere. Something that large would still work on some mantles, but I want to keep it close to where coasters are generally used and not be completely overwhelming from a size perspective.
I will continue to work on the idea and will probably make other versions for other applications - along the lines you’re talking about.
Guaranteed at some point it will be reorganized to say “im a fly” lol
maybe also “film ya” or “my fail”
Sorry, I’m a boggle addict haha
So nifty. Bespoke scrabble name coasters is a great project.
Boggle coasters… do it!
Genius!
These are so cool! Did you use anything to seal the walnut? I’m not sure what kind of wood to use that would handle the humidity.
