[Glenn McCullough]

Though I'd try a coffe mug that was on sale at Woodcraft. This one is in magony that had a knot in it. Looking forward to tying out some java in it.

That's really nice. Was that one piece of wood, or several glued together?

 

[toolcrazy]

That is really cool. I ordered some from Woodcraft, looking forward to trying one out.

It is a solid piece of wood. I didt read all the directions first and made a solid bottom, no plug as in the instructions. I still havent figured out why the instructions suggest you part the bottom and then plug the open end?! Any body know?

i think its in case you turn the internal depth to the minimum necessary for the mug, and the heat generated through the base could crack the end grain, other than that i haven't the foggiest :biggrin::biggrin:

HAHA, man, I bet that would be HEAVY!!

 

[woody350ep]

Haha, I bet that would be heavy!!

 

[Ozzy]

Great job Glen. I'm gonna have to try one.

 

[Glenn McCullough]

It reall is not as the wood is very thin, so thin it split after being left out in the cold and filling it up with hot coffee. I will have to make a new one. Be sure to use wood that is dry and leave some room for the metal to expand.

Haha, I bet that would be heavy!!

Ouch! Sorry about your mug - it was a pretty piece of wood.
