Some kuksas - pic heavy.

[Two Socks]

With all the brilliant carving and green woodwork being posted on here this week I thought I may as well chip in and show some of the cups I have been carving over the past month.

Two in Cherry:

And some in Birch:

Tooled finishes, and most are oiled with rapeseed oil.

Thanks for looking everyone

Wonderful. I've never made a decent kuksa.

Yup, those are lovely.

All the best

Thanks everyone!

@13Rett: It is a very fun and rewarding project. Watch out though, as you see it can become a tad addictive.

Lovely kuksa's. Do you use just a crook knife to hollow then out or do you use any other tools?

I used to use just my mora 164, but since I wanted to make a good few more of these I recently acquired a small adze that speeds up hollowing quite a bit. When I am out camping I still make them with axe, knife and hook knife. The two in the first pic of the birch cups, for instance. The rest I used the adze on.

Thanks for that Two Socks. Once i get my hands on a decent, kuksa sized green log, I will have a go myself!

They look stunning and the pictures are very good too. You've two real talents there. The fourth picture down is especially nice. Cheers for letting us see your work.

Thank you for the kind words, Goatboy. I do enjoy trying to take some good photos of my craft and am happy that you like them.
