Paguro Upcycle
Unique Handmade End Grain Wooden Coasters (Set of 2 or 4)
Limited Edition Eco-Friendly Hardwood Coasters
This Unique Handmade End Grain Wooden Coasters is made by hand using reclaimed solid hard woods such as teak and rosewood. It was created by our artisans who were determined to make use of the offcuts produced by local furniture factories. Each coaster has a rich grain with a deep tone and come with own unique end grain patterns.
Using reclaimed timber ensures that we make full use of this precious natural material and reduces the demand for new materials. The unusual shapes of the offcuts also demand creativity and craftmanship, producing a truly original nibble bowls that are not only functional but also beautiful.
This unique set of upcycled wooden coasters will make a great house warming gift or a lovely addition to a wedding list. They are also a great present for a 5th Wooden Wedding anniversary. A perfect sustainable and eco home gift for any occasions.

Care Instruction
All wood is dried until it reaches a moisture content of 12-15% to meet export standard. We use only approved glues which are of a safe standard for food preparation. We finish the coaster with a coat of bio wax to prevent water seepage into the grain and to help prevent the growth of bacteria.
- For maintenance, it is recommended to polish with bio wax every month. We do not recommend coating the wood with coconut or olive oil as it may produce a rancid smell.
- It is not recommended to soak the coaster. It's recommended to wash with soap, rinse and wipe dry immediately.
Questions and answers
FAQ
Are our pieces comfortable? Suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes — our pieces are lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear, and generally suit everyone. Our recycled inner-tube jewellery has metal-free fastenings, ideal if you react to metals. Our earrings are finished with sterling silver, surgical stainless steel, or brass hooks — nickel-free and kind to even sensitive ears. Please note that our rubber pieces are made from reclaimed inner tubes, so they are not suitable for anyone with a latex allergy.
How do I care for my piece? Is it waterproof?
It depends on the material. Recycled inner-tube jewellery is waterproof and hard-wearing; simply wipe clean. Recycled inner-tube and army-canvas bags are water-resistant. Recycled wood and skateboard pieces — keep dry and wipe with a soft cloth. Recycled brass develops a natural patina; buff with a polishing cloth to restore shine. Resin — wipe clean and keep away from prolonged heat. Recycled bike chain — keep dry and wipe after contact with water.
Will my item look exactly like the photos?
The design will be the same as pictured, but no two pieces are ever exactly alike — that’s the beauty of handmade, upcycled materials. The threads and markings on each inner tube, the colours in every skateboard offcut, and the grain of each piece of wood are all different, making your piece genuinely one of a kind.
What is it made from?
Every Paguro piece is handcrafted from genuinely reclaimed materials — inner tubes from buses and trucks, recycled skateboards, reclaimed wood, recycled brass, and more — given a second life by skilled artisans.
