Pictures would be great. I thought about slotting my dowel base template with a router bit to give it the outward angle of a real shot glass but I just started with simple. At that size, they are pretty tough to stitch. Not that I proclaim any expertise.

Thanks for the tutorial! I've been waiting for it for a while. I was pretty much out of leather so had to dig through the scraps to manage a mini-mug. Okay, its more of a shot glass than mug. The idea scales down.

Other sites I've seen have mentioned Salad Bowl Finishes as well. Such as this one from Rockler Woodworking. I have no idea how well it works but some Home Depot and Lowes locations also carry similar products from what I've been told. I have a Rockler nearby so I'm going to pick some up and try out on a mini-mug. I'll let you know how it works.
