Sheds Through the Fire

The final steps in finishing Sheds of Hope coasters requires them to be place into the flames of a coal fire. The carbon deposited of the aluminum is then partly removed resulting in a patina that makes the design stand out.

The coasters are then wiped with wax to remove some of the carbon.

After the wax is dry the coaster is place in a lathe and polished with steel wool.

This is like what the Lord does to each of as we go through trials. After we get dirty and black, He reaches out, picks us up, and places us in the community to proclaim His glory with our lives. The Sheds of Hope are one way the people of Lagniappe are showing the glory of the Lord.
