Just a carved cup.

It's very rare that I get time to do any carving so please excuse me posting a rather rudimentary 'kuksa'. I make knives normally

I suspect the wood is ash although it dosen't look much like it....

Comments always welcome

I really like that, the tooled finish really suits it.

That's not rudimentary, it's just right - I think it looks grand, and very nice finish.........................atb mac

There's no "just" about that at all. Tidy little job that, well done!

Nice! Love the antler button

 

[Dreadhead]

that's a wee beauty! a lot of character there

 

[kiltedpict]

Very nice!

 

[crosslandkelly]

That looks great, like it.

 

[mikew]

Thanks for the compliments.

In truth it looks better in the photo than in the flesh but I enjoyed making it. Planning to pour myself a large whisky later on to start the 'seasoning' process

That looks top's

Nice job. Does it 'drink' well?

 

[mikew]

It drinks just fine thanks

A little on the small side for the morning coffee but ideal for something stronger by the fire.

Looks good Mike- trying out your own blades?

 

[mikew]

Thanks Nic. Yeah one of my little carvers and a svante darj spoon knife for the bowl. I recon I could do with one of your Fawcett knives to get a really nice finish in the bowl though.

 

[nic.]

I don't think the Fawcett pattern has enough hook to reach the bottom of something that size, have a few other more hooked options that would do it well though. Lets see the carver then!

This one....
