Using spalted wood for food dishes isn't advisable either

The jury is still out on that one Pete, all bacteria/fungi is dead as soon as its dry- does it stay dead if you wet it to clean it? I belive so but is it worth the risk? not for me but some do.
soem of these logs are still normal beech but not for long i hope :twisted:

Nice work. It is nice to see usable work. I am soon going to have a go at making some goblets and pint tankards from seeing people like yourself making utility items..

I am going to have a go at making a few pint tankards. I saw in a shop once some leather ones and what they did was to melt wax into them swirl it around and pour it out. I guess that is more relevant to leather. But I am concerned that my beer may leak through. :lol: :lol:

Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing.

Mark, I have made big goblets for use with beer (well lager) and all I did was use a runny beeswax inside, much as you describe the treatment for leather. Mine were pine and so far no complaints.



This was from an untreated piece of 4x4. It is used regularly and simply swilled out with a bit of soapy warm water.

I guess if you made one from a hard wood such as lignum or such it would be even better but i'm a cheapskate and use whatever I have to hand.
