It's only another KUKSA I'm afraid!

Very nice. I need to get me some burr. Mate don't be alarmed but you have giant wooden mushrooms growing in your garden.

A beautiful Kuksa, I can see a lot of hard work went into this little number.

Well I think I've got it finished. It's been walnut oiled, boiled in milk 4 times, oiled you name it. It was like a watering can rose The boiling in milk certainly gives it a seal/coating that seems very hard and takes a bit sanding off.

So tonight it was the araldite and hair drier (borrowed, not mine) to try and get it water tight. Seems to have worked.





Finished in walnut oil with beeswax melted into it.

Araldite and brass powder fills in some of the nasty gaps if they let liquid through.

Should look really nice when finished.

Thanks

No gaps or leaks ....my liquid never stays in long enough . By finishing I meant waxing or maybe taking a few more scoops out for a tad more volume .
Araldite ? Brass powder ? Seems to defeat the object of taking nature and harnessing her fruit.....

Well after all the hours (fun) making it and it leaks! Old meets new (my excuse anyway).

I have a nice cherry burr and root ball waiting to go next. Hopefully there will be no holes in it.
