Angster, "oh greatest master of the mug" thanks you for your encouragement, but as i told you the other day i could not have made them without your tutorial and your additional help, i plan to make more of these as they seem to have been well received by the people over here, what i have done is to number and date each mug i have made, you never know in years to come they may become collectable LOL.. hope the inside picture is ok if not let me know i will send you a better one no problem.

Regards,Steve

Hey Big Steve,

Did you seal your mugs with the wax/pitch mixture or something else? It looks really clear in the pics.

Hiya, Jason.. the sealer i used is brewers pitch it is what is used to line the inside of wooden beer barrels theres is no smell, taste and its not at all sticky like the pine pitch that you guys use

its all i can get in the uk. but i am well pleased with it and so are my customers, i can give you a contact in the uk if you wish its danjdclark@googlemail.com

Dans company is called Traditonal Materials dont know if he ships to US it cost me £10.00 for a 500grm block dont know if thats expensive or not. Thanks for taking the time to post if i can be more help then let me know by PM or whatever.

Regards, Steve.

Wow! Those are amazing! For the mug on the top row, far right, how did you achieve the reptile skin look? Was it a stamp? I've been looking for somehow to do this as I've seen armor and such with this kind of look to it.

Thanks for any help!
