Hawthorn Kuksas in Progress

[Hedgehog]

Hello folks,

I cut a load of Hawthorn the other week (all in the name of conservation of course) & saved a section of trunk from the bonfire.

I figured it would be just fat enough to make some cups/Kuksas with.

Here are some pics of the progress so far...

I was inspired to make more after finishing my first one made from Cherry...

Cheers!

Thanks for the kind comments chaps.

The Hawthorn i nice & green so alot easier than the Cherry I used witch was part seasoned when I got it. Still takes a fair amount of time though I am learning to get faster.

Very smart indeed. The pictures were excellent as well.







I thought at first that you were making a bushcraft telephone.

That\s nice and now yours will be inspiring others. I was originally inspired by Wille Sindqvist it's nice to pass it on and see other folk doing lovely things with it.
