Mario Mushroom Wooden Coasters

I always loved video games and woodworking.
Since I bought a scroll saw I started cutting projects based on video games.
This is one of them - Mario Mushroom Wooden Coasters.

Needed Tools and Materials

What you will need:

Tools:
1. Scroll saw
2. Drill

Materials:
3. Wood (in my case it was plywood)
4. Wood glue
5. Glue stick
6. Felt
7. Printed pattern (download it here: Mario Mushroom Pattern)
8. Varnish
9. Masking tape
10. Sandpaper

Optional:
1. Wood stain

Preparations

When I scroll cut a project I try to stack minimum two wood pieces at the same time - thanks to stack cutting I get two identical cuts in only one cut. We just need to take two pieces of wood, place one on another and wrap them with masking tape.

Glue the Pattern

Spread stick glue on the upper side of the stack and place pattern on it.

Drilling Holes

Wait till glue dries up and drill holes for the scroll saw blades.

Cutiing

Cut the pattern.

Masking Off

Rip the masking tape off.

Sanding

Sand burrs on the underside and top of the coaster.

Wood Stain

Depending of type of used wood we can apply wood stain.

Varnish

When the wood stain dries out apply 2-3 coats of varnish. Off course wait till each coat of varnish dries out before applying the next one. Before applying every coat of varnish gently sand the coaster with fine-grained sandpaper.

Spread wood glue on the bottom of the coaster.

Place the coaster on a piece of felt (choose any colour you like - I usually use black or white).

Cut the redundant felt.
Finished.
