Wherever possible, I like to recycle. There's nothing more satisfying than giving an old, tired piece a new lease of life. In these pictures you will see the whole process after sanding. This particular piece is a 16 inch square side table. Once the "sandman" has worked his magic, I can begin transferring the image. I have chosen a theme of fantasy. Once the transfer is complete, I then have to decide which pyro tips I want to use. With the intricate bits done, it's time to burn the surface. It's time consuming, but I find it very therapeutic. Then decide... To paint or not to paint!! It's hard to tell from the pictures, but I have chosen mainly metallic colours, and will be adding more coats in places, to solidify the colours. I am thoroughly enjoying this imaginative piece, though it's taking it's own sweet time to come together, with all the other things I have to do. I have my ideas firmly in place for the legs.

About My Coasters... Handcrafted, personalised wood slice coasters, the perfect gift for any occasion for your family and friends offering that personal touch for all your needs. The drinks coaster, or whatever use you have in mind, is made of beautiful, hard wearing pine, with bark, to give it a more rustic look. Whenever I can, I try to use local wood... mostly Ash. Pieces are hand drawn, pyrographed or painted with acrylics, then varnished, with superior yacht varnish, to provide a level of protection against any spills, and to ensure they last a long time and your drinks won't remove the design! Completed by 4 clear bubble feet to protect your furniture. The coasters are roughly 9cm in diameter by 1cm deep. ***Do not leave in water and to clean, wipe with damp cloth/cleaning wipe. Buy individually, or as part of a set, as I am happy to mix and match orders! I pride myself in producing the best looking, longest lasting coasters that will fit perfectly in your home. Great for yourself, or a gift for anyone. Each one is unique and you won't find them anywhere else! If you have any questions or enquiries about designs, please don't hesitate to send me a message.
