We have now added another great designer to WoodMarvels.com, Phil Morrison and his wonderfully creative die that does double duty as both a set of six coasters and a great puzzle! They are available in two sizes, 8cm or 12cm square and as usual, you can buy either the blueprints to make them yourself or order the laser cut model.
You can find it on our WoodMarvels.com under Featured Designers / Phil Morrison.

We are starting something new here at WoodMarvels.com and this cantilever side table was the first test to see how things worked-out… which was great! This very distinctive cantilever side table made in the same layering fashion as Utzi’s Office Chair, using 10mm Eurolite plywood. It’s strong enough to stand-up to a great deal of punishment and comes with all the necessary parts to put it together, including our square dowel technology which means no longer needing to go to [...]

The first moment I saw this amazing snowboarding coaster… I was hooked. WoodMarvels.com had to get these on our site!
This is a great illustration of what is really possible when you mix raw talent and a laser cutter! If you are looking for an incredibly unique and functional coaster you need to buy both this one and Tee’s Mozzy coasters we released a few days ago!

WoodMarvels.com is introducing another unique feature to our sites and products, the actual recording of the item being made in 3DS Max!
