Set of coasters

[Charlie E]

I made this set of coasters as a gift for someone I went to high school with who now lives in Washington state. Long way from Alabama. She didn't like the idea of them being free so she's crocheting me a toboggan. Much cooler than money!

Those are very nice!! Great job cutting them..

[wombatie]

Exchanging craft for craft, cool.  I love your coasters they are really neat.  Well done.

knitted me a pair of mitts...ogle of the best  gifts I got in years,never had  a pair since I was a kid.

Those are great.  Good job.

So you sent her coasters and she sent you a sled. Got it. Nice job on the costers and nice work on the inlay.

Great job JT

@JTTHECLOCKMAN  Now, that toboggan does not looked crocheted however.   However, I think I would prefer that wooden one myself.  Looks nice. 

@Charlie E now I am not sure you need either type of toboggan  down there in Alabama.  Hope it wasn't red though. 

Those coasters are great looking.  Anybody would love to get a set of those. I think she may have gotten the better end of that deal, but I have't seen the toboggan so maybe not.  I know my college son and some nieces and nephews who would love coasters that looked that good.  Maybe I will try some sooner or later. 

Did you make a holder for them too?

Well right now in Alabama I need someone to crochet me an umbrella! Almost need a boat to get to my shop. I thought about making a holder but I'm leaning towards not. My mind changes with the weather though so who knows. She's planning to give them to her husband for Christmas so I'm not in a rush.   As for me getting the better deal, money wise-yes, time-probably not. RT! (you know)

Thanks Dave. Yes they are, not very forgiving though. The Superman one was my second try. The first time I made one cut clockwise when I was supposed to be cutting counter clockwise.  I'm happy with it now but the pilot holes showed up pretty badly. I mixed Red Paduk sawdust with wood glue to fill it and it looked good till it dryed and turned really dark. Oh well, a talented carpenter once told me, "If you try to make it perfect it will usually turn out pretty good."

Two Marvel and two DC.  Nice balance and really nice cutting.

Ha! I wondered if anyone would notice. I did the two Marvel's first and then Batman so I knew I needed to pick out another DC. Turns out there aren't that many DC hero logos that are ideal for inlay. Not at my skill level anyway. I decided on Superman but it took two tries.
