Tankard

I built this tankard as a gift for my Son's wedding. My first attempt at a mug. This one is pretty big. I calculated the volume and it will hold about 4 1/2 12 oz beers. That should make for a real party. I think I will try to make a smaller one next.
The mug is black walnut with an exterior finish of Formby's Tung Oil, which is food safe. The interior will be cutting board mineral oil & bee's wax. I don't really expect it to be used for drinking but it could be I guess.
It looks really good.   Banding and handle compliment the mug.

I like the lines and styling of that, looks excellent!
Capacity is certainly proper for a kegger party!
That looks really good! I've got a couple questions:
Were the staves tapered?
Did you do the final shaping on a lathe?
excellent !

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
