Very nice mug and handle, and that turquoise really sets it off. I have looked at both your mugs with
handles and cannot figure out how you attached those handles, but they sure look good. Thank you
for sharing.

First I want to say thank you for all the great remarks that everyone has posted.

Thank you Nate. I dont drink gave it up about 12 years ago but I have always loved collecting Beer Mugs so it was a natural thing to turn the mugs.
