    Have mug will travel.

    Hello all,

    I just tumbled to this forum last week. Andy and others have been great getting me settled in. I've been turning for about 3 years now, and my main focus is bowls and travel mugs. I thought I'd post a little piece of my work.

    This is a staved walnut mug finished in Watco oil with medium walnut stain. Buffed with hut.

    May all of you have a prosperous New Year.

    Nice looking mug Brodie! What do you use for an insert?

    Oh yeah, Welcome to the Creek!

    Sheesh - all I did was send a PM. But thanks anyway, and glad you're here.

    Nice mug. Walnut flavored coffee - cool!

    Great looking mug. I'm going to have to keep my eye out for deals on the plastic ones and 'transform' a couple for the wife.

    Welcome to the Creek.

    Insert

    The stainless steel insert is available from http://www.SmoothTurning.com in a couple months you should be able to find it at WoodCraft also.
    May all your turnings be smooth,

    Brodie, you're a man after my own heart! I'm not much for Moxie but I sure love my coffee and that's just the ticket. Great job, all it needs now is steam coming from the top.

    Welcome to the Creek Brodie. Great Mug !!! I'd be interested in hearing more details on how you do them as well. How do you waterproof the wood, etc?

    As others have so eloquently stated, wonderful mug, beautiful work. Welcome to the Creek, jump right in, the water seems to be warm and friendly all the time here. Thanks for the information on the inserts.

    This is too cool! Just the other day I was wondering if there was a coffee mug kit available. Being the coffeeholic I am, I can see one or more of these in the very near future.
