I'd appreciate some thoughts and suggestions.
Since I've got next week off one of the things I intend on doing is making myself a kuksa.
I made one a few years ago but it was quite small.
So I'm going to make one of a more usable size.
But I'm wondering what wood to make it out of.
The first one I made was birch. But it's a very pale wood.
I want something with a bit more colour.
This is going to be a user, not just a decorative piece. So it has to be made from a wood that isn't poisonous.
I was thinking of pine. We have lots of that available nearby.
Any other suggestions? Again, I want a wood with a bit of colour and grain to it.
Cheers.
