As a mother of four boys, Kari began running more than 20 years ago, and has competed in more than a hundred races and triathlons.

Testimonials
All of my medals, even the ones I was super proud of, just collected dust under my bed. What a great idea to turn them into beautiful, useful coasters. And they are so well constructed, they will last forever.

While I'm proud of my race medals, I'm not one to hang them on my wall. Handcrafted Coasters lets me show off my accomplishments in an innovative, conversation-starting way. The wood and craftsmanship are stunning, and whenever anyone uses the coasters I get to tell the story behind the medal - reliving the race glory in a classy way.

Thank you for the coaster. The craftsmanship is amazing. You have surpassed all expectations. I'm talking serious wow factor. It’s on my desk now and I will look fondly on a great accomplishment and a beautiful piece of art. No better way to display a medal in my opinion. I’m going to show and tell everyone I know about you. Thanks again for everything, the thoughtful note and great communication.
