Coaster set I made up today

I need to get a better system for sanding end grain. These end mill Mark’s are ridiculously hard to get rid of in these hard woods. Especially by hand.

Those look great! It took me a second to see what you were talking about.

I’ve got a cheap Harbour Freight style bench grinder with a sanding belt that I would use to take that off if it bothered me. Finished with some fine grit paper on a sanding block and it would be ultra smooth in no time!

How did you make the holder? Is it as work intensive as it looks?

I have a 5" but it’s too small so I end up with more Mark’s to sand out than the tool makes.

I use a flat mill and a ball mill, takes about 2hrs of machine time to make. The holder is actually the easy part.
