more travel mugs

[Woodmonkey]

I recently made a travel mug which went down very well and created a few orders for more so did another batch, these are from oak, black walnut, elm, ash and a piece of sill which I guess is sapele. Thanks for looking.

very nice - are they made from a kit or is it cheaper to buy a generic one and take it apart.
any chance of a wip.
thanks for showing us these
cheers paul

I think they are great. Just one small point, is the way the grain running in the ( Ash ? ) handles strong enough to take the weight over time ? Or perhaps the laminated strip of black American walnut compensates for that.
Still good job.

Paul, there is a wip here, travel-mug-wip-t81002.html?hilit=%20travel%20mug
I can't find anyone doing the kits this side of the pond so I just butchered a shop bought one.
Dave, yes the strip of walnut in the handle has the grain at 90° for strength, kindly suggested by a member on here last time

Perfect. If you fill one with a a drop of the hard stuff, I will help you empty it.

I buy mugs from my local B&M store and butcher them. I re-use the plastic handles from the shop bought ones though, not having a band-saw.
