Founded by master craftsman Alva Reed, Master's Touch specializes in the production of quality hand made birch mugs.  As Dave Dewar has assumed the crafting of these mugs, he has done so using the legacy of Alva’s more than 40 years in carpentry and woodworking, his traditional techniques and innovative ideas to create these unique, fully functional, wooden mugs. 

Alva Reed patented his process for building these birch mugs. Hand crafted with or without bark and with or without lids, each mug is a fully functional beverage container.  Knots and bark add to the character of each wooden mug. Laser etched with custom pictures, logo, hand painted to show one of several Alaskan scenes, or plain with the natural features of  Alaskan Birch, each mug is a unique piece of art. These wooden mugs are 100% Alaskan made from the abundant Alaskan Birch trees. Virtually no part of the tree is wasted in the manufacturing of these beautiful mugs and other hand-made wooden gifts.

A Short Mug History

Alva Reed founded Master's Touch in North Pole, Alaska when a friend showed him a wooden mug. Knowing Alva's propensity for woodwork, his friend suggested that Alva design a wooden mug of his own. With the abundance of Alaskan Birch trees locally available, Alva decided to create birch mugs. After experimenting with several methods of drilling, sanding, and drying, Alva finally developed the process for building these wooden mugs. This innovative process led to two United States patents.

Our Mission
