I regularly post ready circles on my website. On availability, I am doing an Instagram post. If possible, I will make small videos on my KZfaq channel.
For a long time I did not make mugs with new handles. Improvisation.
Material: raw birch.
How to dry the finished product: you can wrap the mug in rags, check every day if the rag is wet, it is better to replace it with a dry one. You can’t leave the mug to dry in the draft, on warm objects, under the sun. After about 2-3 weeks, the mug will be ready for further processing.
How to soak a mug ?: you can use linseed oil. Soak the mug as deep as possible with oil, allow the oil to polymerize for about three months. If you pour hot water into the mug, there should be no oil stains. This is an indication that the oil has polymerized and the mug is ready for use. Ultraviolet and oxygen is a catalyst for the polymerization of linseed oil.
Tool used: semicircular chisel (width about 4 cm), hook knives, ax, knives, band saw.
