Here's my first... I found these at Michael's for 25 cents each. There are 4x7" wooden plank about 1/8" think. I bought 50 of them with ideas swirling in my head. Hopefully I don't sound like Martha Stewart when I'm done listing my ideas.. Plus, anyone who has any others, just shout. First, I'm thinking of turning some into wooden drink coasters similar to the Don the Beachcomber coasters. Now, here comes Martha Stewart.... I also thought they'd make great invitations to a Luau or Tiki party. For both ideas, have to stain the wood, seal it, then create a stencil for lettering, and seal again. Any thoughts? Rick
