Bottle opener coasters
Bottle opener coasters


I have an artist fair this weekend where I sell mostly turned items, but these tree branch coaster bottle openers sell really well.

gibmiser @lemmy.world I like the idea, but as someone who has messed around with branch coasters and crafts, I feel like 1 in 3 of these is just going to break

The metal is recessed. So the opener part and the screws never touch anything.

I haven't had any break, ever, and I've made and sold hundreds.
Perhaps it's the wood type? I only use oak and hard maple.

Epoxy tinted with ink for the cracks and then they're sealed with shelac.

gibmiser @lemmy.world Maybe. I am by no means a professional and just use whatever is handy.
