I have an artist fair this weekend where I sell mostly turned items, but these tree branch coaster bottle openers sell really well.

I haven't had any break, ever, and I've made and sold hundreds.

Perhaps it's the wood type? I only use oak and hard maple.

Also looks like you're stabilizing them? Or what's in the cracks?

[-] Spacebar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Epoxy tinted with ink for the cracks and then they're sealed with shelac.

Maybe. I am by no means a professional and just use whatever is handy.
