When you see products made of wood sitting on store shelves it’s easy to forget how much work went into creating them. This video aims to remedy that.

We see how a gnarly old log is turned into a beautiful coffee mug, and all thanks to the skill and craftsmanship of a woodturner.

I recommend you don’t skip through this video, even though you may be tempted to do so. Sure, it’s a slow process, but only by watching the whole thing will you appreciate the effort.

I now want a handcrafted wooden coffee mug just like this. Because with every sip of coffee I take I’ll appreciate the work that went into making it.
