Which yields a beautiful grain pattern when carved. Here is the kuksa I have carved which requires some sanding and then oiling to bring out the grain pattern.
Once completed and oiled, I will add another picture below.
For Louie, 90% of the work was done with this gouge chisel which is currently a favourite tool to work with, second only to my knife.

That's a really nice looking Kuksa.
I am hoping that on my next trip to Algonquin Park in Ontario, Canada, that I will find a good sized birch-burl and make a kuksa out of it... I like your design very much, especially the thumb-rest.

Sweet!
Thats amazing. I've been trying to carve a simple ladle out of cherry off and on for several weeks. It seems with the swirled grain your Kuksa would be hard to carve. What tools/knives did you use?
That looks awesome. It is truly beautiful
Very nice indeed. Still looking for a suitable bur. Are they uncommon?
Pablo.
good work, that's literally the best Kuksa I've seen yet

Many thanks.

What # sweep is this gouge and where did you get it. I am trying to find a single gouge that I can afford which will allow me to carve kuksas and bowls. I generally buy through woodcraft.com. Between this and your spoon gouge I have seen in later posts, which do you like better?
Hi Jeremy, I have bought a couple of gouges. Both are from a second hand tool shop. You really need to test a couple to find the best sweep for you. I borrowed from others to decide which suited me.
