Space Invaders Coasters

$50.00
***Special Note - I am working on finishing a new batch of these coasters during the week of December 7. If you order a set between the 7th and the 11th, there will be a slight delay before I can ship them to you. Even with this delay, there should be no trouble getting them to you well before Christmas, so no worries on that front.***

Set of six wooden coasters featuring those those persistent little aliens from everybody's favorite invader-based arcade game. These coasters are 3 1/2 inches square and about a quarter inch thick. They're made of more than 200 tiny cubes of walnut and maple put together with waterproof glue, sanded to a smooth finish and finished/made water-resistant with polyurethane (I used to finish them with Danish oil, but wasn't happy with their durability, so if you got one of my first sets and are ordering another, these will have a glossier finish).

Let them invade your space before water rings invade all your fine home furnishings!

Or, to borrow a line from a friend, "They're a very classy way to overclock any meal!"

WOOT!

$35.00
This is the full set of three Space Invaders necklaces at a bit of a discount (normally $15 each). These necklaces are made using the same process that I use to make my cutting boards, and are essentially made of between 120 and 150 little tiny cubes of walnut and maple hardwood (ok, so they aren't quite as hard to make as they sound, but trust me, they take a lot of time). I finish the necklaces with 6 coats of lacquer so they really shine. The Invaders measure roughly 1 3/8" X 1 1/8" by 1/8" thick (there is a bit of variation from one to the next, but hey, they're handmade). My girlfriend tells me these are super-cute, and you can definitely trust her as a completely unbiased party in this case.

Triforce End-Grain Cutting Board

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 22:43:28 -0400

$125.00
This hand made Triforce cutting board is perfect for gamers that like to cook...or cooks that like video-games...or really anyone that likes things that look nice and are made of wood. The board is made of walnut and hard-maple, put together with FDA approved, water-proof glue, and treated with a mixture of mineral oil and beeswax.

End-grain cutting boards like this one are very durable and will not dull your knife edges like some other types of cutting boards might (glass, marble, etc. = booo-urns!).

Size will vary slightly, but they are approximately
17 1/4" X 11 3/4" X 1 5/16"
