Spalted timber is rare enough that most woodworkers never encounter it. When it does occur, it leaves behind a map of dark lines and tonal shifts across the grain that no saw, no s tain, and no amount of effort could replicate. Nature did something here that craft alone cannot. Each coaster is cut as a cross-section from a spalted sycamore branch, revealing the full growth ring pattern of the tree — years of quiet growth exposed in a single slice. Hand-oiled and finished individually, then fitted with felt pads to protect whatever surface they're placed on. Sycamore has a naturally pale, close-grained character that makes the spalting particularly striking — dark lines threading through a clean, almost luminous background. No set will look like another. Within a set of four, no two coasters will match exactly. This is not a flaw in the process. It is the process. Made in Cornwall from locally sourced timber.
