Founded by master
craftsman Alva
Reed, and succeeded by Servants Touch Ministries, Master’s Touch
specializes in
the production of quality hand made birch mugs.
As Servants Touch Ministry members have assumed the crafting of
these
mugs, they have 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.

Cabin #5
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.
