I had made about 10 small cutting boards for gifts at my wife's office so she commissioned me to do some coasters. I had never made any before and figured it wouldn't be too hard. I started by gluing up some 12 mm thick blanks and when they were done and cut into 4" x 4"'s, they were sliced in half at the band saw and then finished off to final thickness in the open end drum sander. That Supermax is great for this stuff. Just what the doctor ordered. I used some Paduak and Walnut Next set will be Pakuak and maple. Finishing was some medium dark Watco oil and then satin Poly for moisture resistance. The access in the front of the box took the longest time. It's not perfectly symmetrical but close. I'll have to spend some time doing a template to speed along future attempt.
