Travel Mugs

[Mike8850]

Here's some mugs I've made for my next show this weekend.


The mugs are made from domestic hardwoods with a water based finish.

As usual all questions and comments welcome,
Mike

Those are really nice.

Those are beautiful Mike!

Curious, as now I want to make some... Which water based finish did you use?

 

[Jim15]

Wow! Those are great looking.

Thanks guys,
I use Minwax Polycrylic. It's nice because you can put on several coats in a day. I spray it on with a cheap HF spray gun and a make shift spray booth.

Mike - completely cool. I've done them before but not that nice. Well done! Bet they sell quick!

Very NICE, indeed !!!

There appears to be some cross-hatch patterning in the middle of some. . How do you do that ?

Also, where do you get the stainless steel liners ? Thanks.

 

[Mike8850]

I used a Sorby texturing tool for the crosshatching.
The liners are from plastic mugs I get from Discount Mug.

Got a chance to meet Mike and his wife today and to see these in person. The pictures don't do them justice. As I was walking away Mike had a full booth of people and most of the day of the show still to come!

Mike,

Sorry to bump an old thread, but where do you get the inserts from? The only site I can find by that name is a promotional site, and I'm not sure which mug you get.

Thanks!
