🔧 Materials You'll Need:
Logs (3.5-4in diameter)
Band Saw
Sandpaper (coarse and fine-grit)
Wood stain
Paintbrushes
Clear varnish or sealant

Protective gear (safety first!)
🎨 Steps to Craft Your Wooden Coasters:

1. Log Selection:
Start by selecting logs of various sizes, ensuring they are dry and free from cracks. This step sets the foundation for the unique charm of your coasters.

2. Slicing and Dicing:
Using a bandsaw preferably, carefully slice the logs into even rounds. The thickness can vary based on your preference, but aim for around 1/4 to 1/2 inch. This step gives you the base for your coasters.

3. Sanding Smooth:
Grab your sandpaper and smooth out the rough edges. Begin with coarse grit and gradually move to fine grit for a polished finish. This step is crucial for a professional-looking result.

4. Colorful Expression:
Stain your coasters in vibrant hues or rustic tones. This step adds a pop of personality to your creation.

6. Seal the Deal:
Apply an oil-based finish such as tung oil or Danish oil to protect your masterpiece from moisture and wear. This step enhances the natural beauty of the wood and ensures longevity.
