Hand-Etched IAP Sandstone Casters. $40 value each set

Each set of 4 coasters will be awarded as individual prizes (i.e. two winners).

These are actual slices of sandstone and were made by one of our members and offered through our vendors. These are very nice, but labor-intensive to make! A mask is affixed to the face, the logo is sandblasted into the surface, then they are hand painted. They were expensive to produce, and because they are fragile, they're difficult to ship without excessive breakage. So, I'm discontinuing them, and other than what the vendors may have left, and a few singles from broken sets, these are the last two sets in captivity. We might have coasters again someday, but these are going into the history books.
