Small kuksa

I have some fresh birch and decided to carve a small kuksa, just right for drinking coffee. 

Birch is the traditional wood for carving kuksas and will eventually turn a warm shade of gold.

Tools, axe and knives.

  1. Beautiful.
    and great pics.
    Don't know if it is the lighting, carving or both but it looks almost stone like.

  2. Hi Dave, the birch is very very green with the tree only being felled an hour before I started carving which seems to have left the "stone" like look that you can see. It also made it easy to carve :-)
