My first Kuska

[mr.punch]

I got one of these drinking vessels from fish ages ago and wanted to make one myself, well I was round my mates the other week and rescued a nice bit of apple wood from his fire pile, here is the result I hope you like it.

Thanks for the nice comments. I just realised I spelled kuksa wrong but it doesn't matter to me you all knew what I meant, now I just have to start a new one cos I got the bug, I have a good bit of Portuguese Laurel from a chap and I think that may look nice so I'll give it a go.

he's addicted......

That's a real nice finish you put on it; plenty of sanding, then what...oil?

I'm not that familiar with kuksas, are they meant to be a bowl and cup all in one I guess?

[bikebum1975]

Damn fine work It does get addicting I've lost count to how many I have made so far

[bushcraftybob]
