      Love these ideas! Hate to throw anything away and these are great items to make with leftover pieces.

    Nice! Some great ideas to utilize scraps, rather than throwing them out!

    Project #3, coasters – have been making them for years! A pack of 40 of them are awaiting their final coat of satin clear right now.

    For the wine glass caddy…George indicated for the one with the sapele and maple “stripes” in the walnut board was stained and finished. What was it stained with? I’m assuming it was finished with a clear lacquer? Thanks!!

      Hello Crazeedayz,
      Here’s what the experts had to say about your question:

      I do not believe that there was actually stain used on this project.

    Woodworking is great, especially the simple projects that make great gifts.

    I have LOADS of scrap. Can’t wait to get started on one of your projects! Right now I’m turning a vase out of 5 different woods…….all scrap.

    Thanks for the inspiration. These have been fun! Have made 36 coasters (now trying to figure out holder/stand for them) and getting ready to make some candle holders for gifts, but couldn’t see the link for sourcing candle cups.
