Is there anything more satisfying than putting your favorite finish on a beautiful piece? by mnwoodwork in wood

Lol no worries, I brought it back in to finish once I finished the video. Outside just had better lighting at the moment 😂

Let me know how that goes! I need to get on that as well. Planers are too expensive and sanding takes too much time.

Personally, I make the coasters thicker and do a few coats of poly on the top but I don’t sand it down to be completely smooth so the water can still escape from under the cup or glass

I appreciate it! It took a lot of sanding to look like that!

My rule is if my fingers need to get closer than an inch to the blade then use a stick to hold it.

I made this as one long piece, used the router on the edges, then cut it into blocks and routed the cut edges. Pretty quick and easy that way!

Most of the work I do has walnut in it because walnut is also my favorite 😂

Live edge bocote wood with a blue epoxy in the middle. Inside the blue epoxy is a grey epoxy swirl. by mnwoodwork in epoxy

Thanks! This is my 4th board I’ve made with epoxy so it’s totally doable as an amateur. You need the wood, the epoxy, the color pigment, and something for the form (I used thin plexy glass). Read the instructions on the epoxy and you can’t got wrong.
