Coasters, Colorado Aspen Wood Coaster Set of 6 A little slice of Colorado--Aspen coaster, hand cut, hand polished and sealed. No tree says Colorado like our beautiful quaking aspens. All of the wood used is cut from native aspen that has already died of natural causes, be it overcrowding, insects, drought, or wind. No live trees are cut. Let me describe how I make every coaster to bring out each one's unique natural character. Each set has a unique design that would look great on your counter or coffee table. I hand select the raw stock to find the most interesting pieces. I start off by cutting each log into equal sized sections for the coasters, and then I sand them very good, and put a light coat of natural wood stain on them. I then sand them once more by hand with very fine sandpaper, and apply a clear coat to protect them against water and give them a beautiful gloss. I give them one final sanding and clear coat them once again. I then place felt pads on the back to protect furniture.They are then ready for your home. If you would like to send these as a gift, please see my "gift wrapped" listing. There are different variations of the coasters. Some of them will have knots in the wood and give them a teardrop shape and some are more round with unique designs in the center. These coasters also make great gifts. Don't forget your friends.

Jason Retzke
For Reclaimed Barnwood Utensil HolderAwesome craftsmanship. Refinished and repurposed aged barn siding for a new container. Communication was great with updates along the way and prompt shipping. Overall result was fantastic. Already received compliments with several friends inquiring about purchasing. Highly recommend!

For Gift Tags, Set Of 6, Colorado Aspen Gift TagsBen made these into ornaments for a wedding favor. They turned out exactly the way we wanted them to. I originally contacted Ben at a very busy time of year and we had plenty of time so he told me it would take a while, but he did keep to his timeline. Sometimes communication was a little slow, but that's being nit-picky. They were very neatly and tightly packaged and arrived in perfect condition. I would highly recommend Ben for this type of project.
Ty Wilson

Carrie Wiley
For Rustic Wooden Peg Board Game From Colorado Aspen WoodI am happy with the finished product - I bought two! The people I gave them to really enjoyed them. The presentation was awesome. The only down side was I thought there could have been a little more communication back from the maker during the process.
Chris Farris
For Coasters, Texas Mesquite Wood Coasters - Set Of 6Product arrived very poorly packaged. The wooden coasters were loosely tied with a string and put in a large envelope (not a box). No packing material was used so they banged against each other and were subject to whatever it is the post office does to packages. They arrived with the majority of the bark broke off.
Paige Huff
For Paige's Wooden box for coinsBen is the most wonderful person to work with!!! I asked him to update me every three days and he did until I went on vacation which was awesome. I asked him to send it to me after I got back from vacation and I got it two days later. He was wonderful but not just in those ways. The finished box was amazing. Exactly what I asked for and so unique. It is better then I imagined. It is so natural and way better than something in a store. I would work with him because he is amazing!!!!!
Walter Frick
For Door sign with namesBen was great -- he helped shape the idea with me, and communicated throughout the process. The sign was made from reclaimed wood, which is why I went with Ben, and it turned out great. I'd recommend his work.

For Catherine's office deskCat Schaff
For Cat's reclaimed wooden portfolio box.My wood portfolio box with etching is gorgeous. Ben did an amazing job from start to finish. He communicated regularly with images to update me on his progress. He was flexible in terms of working with me when I was unsure of font size for the etching. I trusted his decision making with regard to finishing touches and hinges, and he did not disappoint. I would definitely recommend Ben's work (and already have) to any of my fellow artist friends or even to individuals needing gift ideas.

For Laser Cut Wooden EarringsI would absolutely work with Ben again. He was very communicative about his proposal and at each significant milestone along the way, making sure I was happy. He offered multiple options when it was appropriate, and was able to to deliver the product well under my expected delivery time. I was pleased with the finished product, as was the recipient of the wonderful gift! Ben and BC Creative Designs was a perfect introduction for my first experience with CustomMade, and would absolutely use the service, and specifically him, again.
