Not sure what u mean.... Its carved from one solid piece. Once i hollowed it out , i sealed the inside and rim with raw beeswax for water proofing.

I plan to go big next. I have a 10 inch diameter log I plan on making into a giant beer mug that will hold hopefully 40 oz

FUCK YES. GOT 3 HARD DAYS OF DRINKING THIS WEEKEND. IMA UPROOT A TREE RIGHT THE FUCK NOW ANONS. HEDGE OR CEDAR WORK?

>>1181121
Or cottonwood?

Wasn't sure if you just hollowed it, or if you coopered it like a barrel. It might make your life a little easier if you consider doing something like that. Takes more skill to master, but makes for mugs less likely to split.

I've made those before in 4 piece walls with a separate bottom fit into a groove. It's really a lot easier in my opinion than hollowing the log but I was going for a more rudementary style of crafting and to kill some time on my days off. The wood is already cured so splitting shouldn't pose an issue

Damn. I knew i should have got that metal bander. I wonder if a few real big zipties woukd help. Try and hide the heads in the handle or maybe sleave them with paracord
