Wood mug (Without using a lathe)

Good morning! My name is Martin Lien and new to this site. I am 46, a devoted husband and father, a truck driver, live in Litchfield,MN and have been woodworking (mostly scrollsawing-puzzles, Christmas ornaments, scrolled portraits, games, words, etc) still as an amatear for about 20 years. Someday I hope to have more time to do more woodworking, learn better techniques, and be in my shop more. I am looking for ideas of small items that sell well. Thinking about small boxes, pet caskets, musical stomp boxes and tounge drums. I would appreciate any ideas! I do have a question also: Someday I would like to buy a lathe and create the many things that are possible on a lathe, but I dont have one right now. Kinda silly but just wondering if there is any way to make a wood cup or mug without using a lathe? From a 3” oak dowel? Again any ideas would be greatly appreciayed! Glad to be here! Happy woodworking and God bless! Marty from MinneSNOWta “I think spring is finally coming here this weekend!”
