A laurel wreath engraved into round bamboo with your initials inside it. This is the least expensive way to put a monogram on a coaster, and the material has one clear advantage and one clear limitation for that job. Nothing on the face peels, because the ink is cured into it.
Bamboo is close to uniform pale straw with only a faint linear grain. Lettering cut into it sits on an even ground, so every letter in a monogram has the same background and none of them looks heavier than its neighbour. On acacia, which runs dark streaks through a golden face, the same initials come out uneven across the line. For lettering, a plain surface is worth a great deal, and bamboo is the plainest we cut.
Because the surface is pale, the engraved line is only slightly darker than the wood around it. The initials are clear in the hand and quiet from across a room. Set them a little larger than you would on walnut and the problem mostly goes away, which costs nothing since the ring has room. If the piece needs to be read at a distance, walnut or slate is the honest recommendation.
A wreath is a closed ring, so on a round coaster it runs parallel to the edge with an even margin the whole way around. Two or three initials, or a surname, sit comfortably inside it. Anything longer belongs on the square, where the ring has more room before it meets an edge.
Bamboo is a grass that regrows in three or four years rather than forty, it is hard and dense, and these are the least expensive coasters we sell. Engraved rather than printed, so nothing rubs away.
Backing pads keep the wood clear of the table and stop it travelling when a glass is lifted. Sold singly or in sets, with four or six usual, and often ordered as a housewarming gift where the initials carry the occasion. Our designers scale the initials to the ring and check the result at the size it will be cut, which on this material usually means going a step larger. The same wreath is cut in square bamboo, in cherry, acacia and walnut, and in slate in three shapes.
