Experimenting with coasters.
The base on the cork one was turned at the lathe to match corksize. I wanted to laser cut the cork but the cork mostly burned rather than cut. I used sealer (polyurethane) to stop the burned areas from smearing after imaging.
The slate was etched using @Nedman 's recommendation and it was also sealed with urethane.
The slate was purchased from Michael’s per Neds suggestion
Nice. How did you get the yellow coloring into parts of the etching on the slate?
@Nedman nope perhaps its the level of power i.e. the dark areas have proportionally more power and that turns it a yellow tint?
…now you just need some Boo-Bees for Halloween!!!

@Nedman after … I really think the yellow is being amplified by the camera it does not look that yellow in real life.
Yep, apparently it’s not uncommon in slate.
I’ve done a good bit for some craft fairs lately and noticed it on a few pieces
