DRAGON1 Posted August 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Don't have access to a lathe right now. Was hoping someone could turn me one and I could pay them for it. FlGatorwood, Cal and Al B 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We brew it strong enough it doesn't really need a mug. It can stand on it's own. The mug just keeps it hot. FlGatorwood, p_toad, Gunny and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRAGON1 Posted August 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 I'll buy anything with or without a handle. Am looking to do some carving/burning on it as a time killer in the evenings. Will post pics when I am done. Gunny, Cal and FlGatorwood 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerald Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Sounds Doable. Any wood preference....cherry, walnut, live oak, elm, ash (maybe not the best), Osage orange (bo doc), bradford pear. Yea I have all those and if you want color (dye) may limit woods used. Osage Orange may have cracks. Oh also have magnolia FlGatorwood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerald Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Not sure this will work as has a bark inclusion. Gunny, FlGatorwood and Larry Buskirk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerald Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 @DRAGON1 that one has a hole in the bottom from bark inclusion. Will send it along with the one I do today.  Gunny and FlGatorwood 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlGatorwood Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Gerald, that is a beautiful turn. But, from my years as a systems analyst, I have a couple of questions. Can it take a glass inside? Or maybe a metal cup that will fit it nicely? Can anyone put some resin in the bottom to retain any liquids? Just curious as I don't really know.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerald Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Not specified to fit glass but yes you could do this and fit it for a glass. I think he plans the epoxy route and the inside is not straight. I have heard of people doing bartop epoxy on these.
