Is there some issue with using these on a natural wood surface?

We use these daily on our new timber dining table and haven't had any problem.

I don't think so--we use them on two reclaimed wood tables (each a different species of wood, both unstained but treated with orange oil) and have never had an issue. The decorative holder has black felt/foam on the bottom (think those foam-like crafting stickers--very thin and not noticeable), and we have never had marks or anything with the coasters themselves. Perhaps if they sit there with a pool of condensation under/around they might leave a mark--but any coaster would in that condition.

I cannot see why "natural wood" would have a problem.They are made of rubber....the color does not come off.

These are not bare wood, so it would require removing the outer coat of varnish to the bare wood. In order to stain them that would be a bit tedious.

They are rubber. I'd be ok with them on my hardwoods as long as they were clean.

The feet have plastic caps on them. I would say that they are safe to use on hardwood floors.

I'd say they hold up pretty well to abrasion, but I'd also suggest using a sealer after your decorating has dried. This is just an extra precaution to keep your design in tact. Modge Podge is a cheap option!

I did only use them on glass and they worked fine. I can't be sure, but I don't think they'll work on wood.

I personally have not used these for outdoor use; and dont plan to.The varnish and the wood are fit for indoor use only. If you use these outdoors, you woul have to bring them in immediately after use

Mine are on top of a mantle that is stained wood. I would be certain that you would need to put down a new strip of adhesive to get them to stick well to a new surface.

I KEEP mine outside but under a covered porch...the finish on them is minimal so if I were you I would put a coat of polyurethane on them. The wood seems solid enough to put outdoors.

Yes. As long as they are not damaged, they could be re used with new lumber. I've used cedar 2*4's

Yes, they are safe. I have hardwood floors as well and the feet have a rubber type cover on them.

They are pretty heavy for wood coasters. They are solid, no cork filler. I would think they would work fine outdoors.

Not in my experience. Very gentle to the knives. If anything, the rack will get scratched instead. But, it adds a nice bit of character to the natural wood.

They have a very smooth texture, do not think it would be any problem with these. I just use them on all my surfaces to keep them cleaner, but hey are very light so will move around if that is an issue?

Not really. I've used cheaper looking and older ones than these without problems, and had no problems with these so far either.

I myself have not used them outdoors, but my husband said that it doesn't work on wood, but it does on plastic. Make sure that the plastic stakes are clean, use a little alcohol rub on it first & wipe clean. Hope this helps.

i had none. they were screwed in to mahogany. i can t see any problem with a hard wood. if using pine posts you might consider bolts instead of lag screws
