I "borrowed" this idea from a recent Woodsmith magazine. They had an article on making a set of coasters. You know, the hard way with a hand router, templates, fixtures etc.
I drew up the vectors and made the toolpaths for a double sided project. Used Maple and Walnut for contrasting colors.
Mine is 4" in diameter, coaster size however I don't think it will make a good coaster as it is completely open.
I'm going to upsize it and make a Trivet instead.
This one I did to work out the design.

I've learned my lesson well. You can't please everyone,so you have to please yourself

WS received lots of flack over that article. The "Purists" don't think CNC'ing is woodworking. Hey, to each their own.....TReischl wrote:Nice job!

Re: Coaster?
I like the trivet idea, but you will need to call it a una-vet; it only has one leg
Great Job!
