Thanks a lot. I'll try and let you know.

Thanks a lot. Probably I'll try only with these. The oily film of coffee could be of help and water is not a problem for stains. Vodka, too strong for me! I think I'll avoid it for avoiding the wood gets rancid

Another update. The kuksa has no longer its layer of oil and if you leave liquids for quite a long (minutes) the wood becomes soaked and the external surface stains with the liquid. Any ideas? Just a little film of oil outside the kuksa to prevent it?

Dear fellows, My lighter is definitely out and I'm thinking about buying a new one. Since I use it especially for paracord creations, I'd like to move to one which has a short, strong and straight flame. Have you any suggestion about that? thanks

Dear Forum fellow, Happy Easter! And let me ask about GPS since I've found no answer in the forum. I'm quite well accustomed with map and land navigation, but now I'm planning to buy a GPS to next hikes, especially urban ones in roder to get coordinates of specific waypoints. I documented a...

Ok, just an upate .After several boiling treatments and three days to dry the kuksa is now perfectly usable, with no residual taste. Thanks a lot for everyone of you

Yes it is and oil finishing was truly beautiful, but only for aesthetics

Since two days ago only water. Cold. the first attempt with hot drinks was with hot tea that became broth very quickly. My kuksa went through a very hard sunday, with several "boiling assaults". I took it to water boiling point in a pot for four to five times. it seems all the oily patina went...

Finland. One hole. Unfortunately I don't know much more than this

By tasting yes, it could be. Now I'm approaching the problem gently boililng the kuksa (at about 70°C). it takes A LOT MORE oil outside the kuksa

Thanks to all. Just an update. I'm trying to rinse it with warm water and it seems to be effectivejust in terms of removing oil. It removes a lot more than before, but it owuld be soaked in the oil. I don't no which treatment was used, but the seller was on ebay for several years selling puuko...

Dear Fellows, I've bought a kuksa several years ago. i used it seldom because everytime the wood releases an greasy patina, probably due to the oil used for the cup by the maker. I attempted several uses, but even with water it seems impossible to drink without a brothy aftertaste Any idea how...

Dear fellows, I've a question for you. Some days ago we are just chatting about diets and alimentary regimens and one of us highlights the chance that hunters in the past are the ones with the best diet, much more than primitive farmers. the facts beyond this theory are the better fitness due to...

Great job :You_Rock_

I've heard the same. I have bought a sheepskin in Skye several years ago, I washed it and it is still like the first day

Dear fellows, I've one of each hides in the title, but I have no idea of what I can do with them. Displaying them is not possible, so I wonder if I can do anything. Any suggestion?

I tried my first bow & drill with this kit some weeks ago. Everything was fine (good set up, smoke on friction and so on) but same problem with ember. i agree with pushing much more the spindle would be more effective. Thanks for sharing your experience

i hope this is the right section of the forum. I'm planning to buy a sharpening system. The first choice was for a double grit whetstone, but then I noticed the Lansky system. the idea of having fixed angles seems to be much more interesting, but I was wandering if it could be used for different...

I think Leshy got the point. thanks for your post, Leshy. The term filtration is, for sure, the most appropriate and the purpose of the task was intended in order to understand better the processes in the field. The setting was a not expected need for using on site water and the relative...

it seems that activated charcoal is made burning wood without oxygen (I think with an extremely low speed and minimal amount of oxygen). the result is a material with very high porosity, capable to catch toxins and much more. used since ancient Egypt time
