Elm kuska

[shortyman]

Hi

Finished my first kuska today. I know it's not the most authentic shape but I wanted it to fit in my Swedish army mess kit.

Really pleased with it especially as i only suffered one cut!

That's really nice.

Keep at it and you'll get them thinner.
(not a criticism,think we all make the first like that, I did).

Was terrified at it breaking! Like you say all down to experience. I've a bit left so going to try another...

Thanks for the nice comments and advice all
