Woodworking: Maple & Resin Inlay Coasters

These coasters are really quick and easy to make. They are great ways to use up scraps I know you have in your shop. You don't have to use a CNC if you have steady hands. I do not so I use my DIY CNC (MPCNC: shop.v1engineering.com/collec.... I'm not sponsored, but this little CNC has been great to learn on.
I hope you enjoy this video. Please let me know if there is a project you'd like to see me make and I will do my best to do it. Thank you for all the support you have shown me and the channel!

looks great. one suggestion, use clear exopy first to avoid bleed of black epoxy into the pocket.

Love the build. Curious about the homemade CNC. Also curious about the steps you took to get permission to use the logo. Would love to be able to make a sell at some craft shows. Huge UGA fan!!

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

I made it on a DIY cnc (MPCNC). You can find more information about it here:www.v1engineering.com/. - Ed

[@thiswillwork18]

Nice work! Did you use a sealer before pouring the epoxy? You didn't get any bleeding

[@drkline69]

Actually it does look like he did get some bleeding, especially with the red. It's always good to use a sealer before using epoxies for a nice crisp edge.

[@scrapple8741]

Have you ever done an epoxy inlay within and epoxy inlay. I'm thinking of doing letters one color then coming back in and cutting out another letter with that letter (smaller) and changing that color (small letter just smaller)

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Thank you for watching! Yes I have done that. Once the resin is cured, it's just like carving wood. - Ed

[@bitsurfer0101]

Where did you find the cork backing?

I’d bet an arm that the ‘too deep’ cut was that the bit slipped down in the collet. You have way too much tool sticking out………………… (laughter ensues) With that much extra tool sticking out, it vibrates much more, which can cause bit slippage. You’d also be able to push it a little bit faster if you choke up on the tool more.
