My first kuksa

[Captaincrash]

Made from birch, my first but not my last!

 

[Barn Owl]

Very nice, love the handle.

 

[Hugo]

Nice handle shape, I like that.

 

[Harvestman]

I'm impressed with the wall thickness for a first attempt. Waaaay thinner than mine. Good work.

 

[Rockmonkey]

Man alive!
Beautifull work there mate, I have attempted to make two so far, and each time they have split, so well done!

 

[DaveBromley]

That is fab!! I love the Kolrosing around the side how long did it take?

Lovely work, great Kolrosing. What did you use to colour the Kolrosing, I've used Cinnamon in the past.

Thanks for all the great comments! I didn't keep track of how long it took, sure didn't seem long though....I guess that's a sign of pure enjoyment? Sanding took the longest by far. The kolrossing took minutes and was colored with cinnamon also. I have since made another kuksa from a log of spalted birch.....two kuksas in two days! I'm looking at my wood pile in a different light!

Here is kuksa number two with a little chunk of moose antler in the handle.
