The New Hotness

Mary’s Hens and Chicks gardening group is having a White Elephant gift swap, where one can get rid of anything vaguely garden-related without repercussions, so I ran off a set of eponymous coasters for practice:

They’re 3 mm laser plywood with English Chestnut stain and satin polyurethane sealant, with PSA cork on the underside. Even if (IMO) the stain came out too dark on some of them, they’re perfectly suited for the occasion.

Coasters need a storage case:

That’s 1.5 mm Trocraft Eco, which is AFAICT really nice chipboard, with a box layout from boxes.py.

The image comes from The New Garden Encyclopedia, a fine source of classic images and outdated advice.
