I like your mugs, but instead of wood that’s different colors, make several mugs from figured maple and dye them the color you want. Here's a blog post by Trifern that explains his dying process. It is 2dye4!

The process isn’t hard and produces fantastic results. Here’s an example of his art. Wouldn’t that color look fantastic on your mugs. The analine dye at the woodworking store is expensive. I’ve had good results using Ritt dye that’s made for dying cloth. It’s $2 a packet and lots of colors are available. I disolve the dye in denatured alcohol and filter it through coffee filters before I use it.

I stare hard at trifern work. Love it.

No plan. Just trial and error.

Yes, it’s bar top epoxy coating. According to manufacturer it is safe after a week of cure time.

Those are very crafty my friend. Are they basically octagonal boxes? Will the bar top finish make them dishwasher proof?
