Just looking at some birch kuksa carving and wondering if I could do the same thing with a two handled version, like a Scottish Quaich. Quaich's were used to pass around and drink whisky, and a silver or pewter quaich is quite a common wedding present.
Crafting a Classic Kuksa Cup
Kuksa of Oak Burl
First things first, I'll need to get some simple carving tools, Greenman Bushcraft looks like a good start.

And it may be best to start with a spoon...
A digression into the merits of ultralight backpacking; or take care of the kilos and the grams will take care of themselves.
About Me
- Eiran Cooper
- "Me" enjoys getting lost in the wilderness, controlled falls down snow covered mountainsides and paddling around in small, narrow, open-topped boats. I like politics. Give me a box and I'll think outside of it. I also like liberty and individual responsibility. I think they're nice. I have a love of literature, especially the beat generation of the 1950s and the lost generation of 1920s. Sometimes I write.
