Pallet Coasters

As I have stated before I am always looking for a use for all my offcuts and when I saw this project on Steve Ramsey’s ‘Woodworking for Mere Mortals’ http://www.woodworkingformeremortals.com/2013/05/pallet-drink-coasters.html#pallet-drink-coasters.html?s=2&_suid=138036292054408656889188224006. 

I thought it was perfect. Steve used old pallets to make these coasters however I used my fence paling offcuts.








Not much to the construction just cutting the pieces to size, the 9 slats are 12 x 5mm and the 3 bearers are 12 x 7.5mm, and the gluing them together with Titebond 3 wood glue, leaving them over night to set and then give them a good sand. Then a couple of coats of polyurethane to finish them off.  






So far they are working well.
