Birch Coasters with POINTY Inlays - Thanks V-Carve

Projects
1

Slicing up some birch, using up my walnut scraps. I think I might be addicted to the V-Carve Inlay Gadget. If you can find the PDF tutorial, it is a great supplement to the video tutorial - I wish I would have found this PDF before carving all of these coasters. These have < 1mm mating joint on the inlay - the PDF explains the different settings much better.

Awesome job, @Earwigger! I love that look. Don’t have V-Carve (on a Mac) but I hope to be able to do similar using Easel! Great job

These coasters are soooo cool! Looks like a great Christmas gift to me. Where did you get the Birch?

Thanks. The v-carve inlays get really thin at those points and tend to flake off or flake out when you sand them flat. Here is a stag coaster - the hoofs kept popping out and you need a microscope to find them. I think I finally have coasters out of my system.
