I would like to make coasters from a small (3-4") log by crosscutting
them on a bandsaw about ¼" thick. Would anybody have any
recommendations on what kind of wood/log to use that would not
"check" and would have an interesting grain structure?

Thanks

Would soaking the fresh cut cross section in Pentacryl and then finishing
with poly work?
