A couple of Kuksas

[Nellybelly]

Here's a couple of birch burr kuksas i've made recently and a couple of natural form bowls as well, the 1st is a large hazel burr that i found the 2nd is alder, do like a bit of carving on a rainy day:001_smile:

And a Berry picking bowl i made for my little girls

Loving the berry picking bowl. Looks nicely proportioned.

 

Must get some pics of my own kuksa and post them.

 

Have you tried kolrosing?

 

cheers

i have tried a little bit on a scandinavian style serving bowl that i made for a commission, i like on plain grained wood like birch or alder but not on any burr wood as i think it looks lovely just oiled,

 

The berry picking bowl just needs a bit of a tidy up and oiling, i'm going to leave the tool marks showing on that 1 but have only just started to experiment with a tooled finish

 

Thanks for the comments:thumbup:

Cheers mate, i think we could get enough of that one in the stream for a couple of cups and bowls, the grain would be like the photo of the cups i think with eyes showing

 

Thanks all for the kind comments, i've been carving for a couple of years using nothing but hand tools, mostly just axe and knives but never had the confidence to show much of my work only making the odd piece for friends, i've got mass's of spoons cups and bowls that i've made over that time
