General Information
I wanted to make a set of portal themed coasters all made with different techniques but arriving with the same finished look. This is the one I made with my x-carve. Its good practice for people who want to use the new two stage cut setting and also want to practice inlays. 1/8 flat nose 1/16

Give the mdf a light sand to fix any burrs that my have formed during cutting.
