Was toying with buying a Kuksa, I know, i should be making one, but there you go. I have too many unfinished projects on the go at the moment so i thought, just buy one...Well..

Free postage, though!

It is no doubt a very nice item but that's way over the top, in my view.

I dont mind spending more when shopping fair trade to help out the little guy, I can appreciate the work a true craftsman puts into his/her work and would pay a fair price to said person.
If i had the Money i would pay the £4/£5000 asking price for a true Birch bark Canoe just as long as it was hand crafted in the old ways, but for me this is waaaay over the top for a wooden cup and spoon.

Advantages: Handcrafted in Northern Scandinavia to a traditional design. Complete with a leather hanging cord so you can hang it up to dry. High quality. Beautiful & practical to use, will not rust! Spoon included.

Disadvantages: For obvious reasons you cannot reheat food in it over the fire.

Away and have a word with Jim Nixon at Strathclyde Woodturners (he's in Bellshill) and he'll happily introduce you to the joys of making them

The Sami ones don't come cheap though, but that still seems awfully expensive.
