Hi guys (and gals),
Last weekend I found a birch birl and decided to have a go at a kuksa. I have been working on it the last few days and am arriving at the stage where I need to decide how to go about finishing it. I would love your advise on how to proceed. I have cut out the shape and did a rough sanding. I can either now let it drie out and then do the rest of the sanding. I can sand now and oil it. I have read about boiling it in salt water. Is that something I could do now? Do I need to let it drie afterwards before doing the final sanding?
Oh well, as you can tell this is my first go but hope to end up with a functional kuksa. Any advise is much appreciated!
