Do you have an axe and a spoon knife?

 

No, there on my "to do" list!

I suggest birch for the first kuksa, it is the traditional wood and easy to crave. The axe is the GB carving axe.

I recommend Nic Westermand and Ben Orford for spoon knives

Boot sales often have kent pattern axes cheap and they usually refurb/sharpen easily

I like my

Greenwood Direct

but it is quite heavy. The wildlife hatchet is good as well

I now have axe envy:thumbdown:

I have just liked your facebook page.

 

Can I ask if you find Etsy/folksy worthwhile?

I will oil it with hot food grade linseed oil.

inspired by the tutorial i got hold of the tools from one of the web sites on this thread (had a forestry axe already) split a bit of birch and this was my first attempt of carving anything ever except maybe a sharp point on a stick.

i know the handle is different it just evolved like that

 

thanks for the making the time for the tutorial
