    So we're at the accessories stage already. Another leaf, from birch, with a different face either side. :)

    Korok.

    I was thinking along the same lines myself. Not a thing I'd envisaged making. Reckon there will be more of similar ilk.

    I would never have come across them myself if not for my lad.

    Kuksa with colour.

    Yes, I've used food safe walnut oil before on other cups. I guess it's down to a question of what you're used to, and what you're trying to achieve. I personally wouldnt use anything that was not food safe. The very glossy affect of the tru oil is striking yes, but is it safe to guzzle hot...

    Another Kuksa.

    Hey all. Here's another one, a gift, carved for a friend who liked the shape of my kupilka. Decided to try a foodsafe mineral oil as a finish this time. Very pleased with the way it brings out the burls chaotic grain. Its nearly there, but for a little more sanding of a few knife marks made...
