kuksa

Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum so happy to start being part of this community. Recently I started carving kuksas and sometimes I have problems with cracks. The last one I made it out of a dry nice piece of beech. Dry wood is the only I have available at the moment. It worked very nice and...

I whittled a lump of what I think was cherry into a shape that looked like it could hold liquid. I thought I would take a dram of malt to christen it. I was disappointed to find that the kuksa drank my whisky before I could get to it! :confused: There isn't a crack or knot hole, the wood...

I started this project in the spring. It has sat in my 'to do' basket for months I have spent the summer learning new skills and traveling around the West Country. Last week I finally sat down with my MiniMac knife and finished him off. I've just taken multiple orders for more. Looks...

I have carved a small kuksa that I plan to use for whisky when out and about. It was mainly a try-out for a bigger one that I want to carve. I think that for a larger one I might want to use embers for the hollow, because my Mora-spoonknives leave a mess behind at some angles. Here are some...
