This is my first coaster. 🙂 Be critical and do not hold back on any flaw. I am ok with constructive opinions. First image is before I sanded it. 2nd image is after sanding and then I coated it with Linseed oil.

The wood is poplar and both images are the same piece of wood.  
There was no test piece.  
Maybe the lighting is causing it to look that way.
