Topic tags/keywords: coffee cup coffee cup

I got this crazy idea to make a wooden coffee cup and ACTUALLY USE IT FOR HOT COFFEE.

Did an Internet search but didn’t come up with much.

Any ideas on what wood to use? (Something non-toxic that doesn’t move much)

How to seal it? (Mineral Oil, Epoxy?)

If I don’t seal it, will it …
  1. leak/seep
  2. make the coffee taste bad
  3. kill me over time

I’m sure the Asian wooden lacquered bowls can be used for coffee,

Mountain men, colonial settlers and other frontiersmen used wooden cups. They were called “noggins”

I made a few of these and sold them to re-enacters. I used acrylic tile sealer on the inside only. I was told that it was a “food safe” finish. I also made leather bottles and lined them inside with the acrylic tile sealer or for those who were purists with brewers pitch.

I think Woodcraft has a stainless steel insert for mugs.
