WHAT ! ! .. Another Coffee Mug ? ? . . . lol

[W.Y.]

Finished this one off today .
Still have not been able to find the $2.99 complete mugs to use the hardware from but I only have two left of the last ten I got for $5.99 each. Will have to take a trip south of the border and pick up another 10 or 12 next week.

Between being under the weather for about a week and then two much travel ling around visiting people I have had very little shop time . Finally got in the shop to turn this one and hope to get back making lots of fill ins for items that sold in the last couple weeks at the Sat morning craft sales. .

This piece of wood had some nice grain pattern so the picture is only of the same mug but showing both sides.

I bet this one will be sold within the first few minutes of Saturdays sale like all the catalpa ones usually are.

Bill, what kind of finish you are putting on this that water or liquid won't hurt it?

 

[tim self]

Excellent work. I've never tried one cause I'm "scared" of them. No idea why but never put it on my list.

Heavy coat of polyurethane on the inside to seal the wood and sanding sealer followed by 3 or 4 coats of poly on the outside .

I warn every purchaser about no dishwasher and preferably no sink washing. Damp cloth inside and out.
