Birch Qiaich
I have a lot of local woodland albeit carved in to seperate sections or "reserves". In the woodland we have a lot of beautiful silver birch, I love the way that they glow in sunshine with darker trees supplying a contrasting backdrop. The wood is soft and easy to carve but a bit prone to tearing if knives are not sharp.
My local reserve are clearing their woodland of birch which means there is wood available.
The quaich is a tradtional Scottish drinking cup and was used for drinking whisky or brandy.
This little cup was a pleasure to carve and I will be making more.
