A small canvas
A set of coasters is a good-sized place to look closely at grain, color, and contrast. These pieces bring figured wood and resin together in a collection of small, functional objects.
Finished for the table
This group was photographed after applying the oil and wood-butter finish. The archive includes other coaster sets and commissions from the same period.
