More Mugs

Made up a few more mugs ! One waiting for an insert.  I am really liking the Mahoney's finish.  Makes the wood look very rich I think.  May not be for every type of wood, but on the cherry in particular I think it's very nice.  Easy to refresh as well.  Next time I do a walnut piece I'll be trying it again.

  1. Boxelder, burned butterfly, polyurethane, buffed and waxed


 Cherry, burend initials, Mahoney's Oil and Wax Finish over Walnut Oil




Maple, staved, burned abstract fish, Mahoney's Oil & Wax Finish over Walnut Oil

Travel Mugs

Just finished turning a bunch of travel mugs.  Stainless Steel inserts and various woods, all with a poly finish that has been buffed and waxed.  Some are done with a stave construction and some are from a solid blank.

12 Travel Mugs and 1 Cocktail Shaker


One More Travel Mug with a wood burned Dragon Fly and worm holes filled with turquoise.  This one is out of White Birch

Xmas Ornaments

Ornaments.  All of them have been hollowed, so they are pretty light weight.  One is for the gift exchange at our clubs Christmas Party tonight.
