In this YouTube video by the U.K.’s Matt Jordan (mjturning.com), he turns a piece of applewood into a coffee mug worthy of any morning in the woodshop!
“The mug is made from a small apple log with plenty of burl, the handle is also made from burl but with a Pewter centre piece. The mug is finished with Pure Tung oil, this oil is food safe and provides a very good waterproof coating, the only downside is the time taken to apply in at least 5 coats and then around 4 weeks to fully cure, however once done it provides a very durable waterproof coating that can sustain hot drinks, etc and hand washing.” – Matt Jordan
