I do not think so. I have his book on how to make kuksas and puukkos but it is in Finnish and out of print I am afraid. It is called "Lapinhullun käsityöt", edited by Matti Rekola.

They look very neat, how much do they hold? and what did you use to make them?

 

[fishfish]

they hold very little i came up with the idea for novelty/snorting vodka.

I'd sorta figured that what I meant was more...shot glass sized? smaller/larger?...now there's an idea-shot kuksas for bushcrafters!

snorting vodka.

its not that bad,a teaspoon of vodka snorted is like drinking a half pint of it! there are worse ways,when i was in my 20's and a hard core biker we used to use an eye bath!

Been there done that. And the kamikaze tequila where you snort the salt and put the lemon in eye.
Amazing the daft things we get upto really
