Kuksa DIY

Making my first Kuksa on my journey to Norway in July 2018

[@LordTimothyOfGlencoe]

Great job Tom, it amazes me what was done before television, when camp craft was what we did in front of our campfires. A tent peg was something that was made, those canvass tents weighed a tonne. The pure wool blankets were a God send when it got cold, but with only a knife we could make all that we needed for utensils. Thanks for a brilliant demonstration, and inspiration for the generation that have yet to experience the old ways. Yes they are the best ways tried and tested, kind regards Tim

[@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag]

Thank you so much Tim for your kind and positive feedback 👍🏻😁 I appreciate that very much and your so right in your analysis of what bushcrafting is all about 💪🏻 Hope you’ll join me again on my next adventure 🏕🦌🔥

Another great video ! I love your channel. I learn so much. Thank you for posting.

[@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag]

Your welcome Richard 😁👍🏻 and thanks for watching some of my older videos too Atb to you 🏕🔥🌲🐕Tom

[@bushcraftsurvivalslovenia5241]

amazing work. I tried 2 times before to kame a kuksa with no luck ( the wood split or I discovered a hole halfway through carving) right now I am in the process of making one from freshly fallen maple wood and I'll see how it turns out. Your kuksa is just breath taking and I love the decoration with antler and leather.

[@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag]

Thanks my friend for your kind words and support. Hope you’ll succeed this time and carve a great kuksa 👍🏻😉🌤

Such a coffee addict that he makes his own bushcraft coffee cup. Now THAT is hardcore. You, sir, are an artist.

[@tracyrutan9926]

Hello Tom, I think your Kuksa turned out amazing! You are very talented and skilled with your Bushcraft tools! Excellent first try. You should be very proud. I love how you added all the personal touches!. Thank you for sharing with us. Best wishes my friend.

[@TheScoundrel70]

Wow Tom, what a great looking kuksa, even more so for being a first try! This is very surreal timing as my wife came to me literally an hour ago with pictures of kuksas on her tablet wanting to know if I can help her make one with a spoon to match. It will be my fist too, I've carved different many different things, just nothing like a kuksa. We just need a porch and some rain! Thanks again for sharing, and you should be very proud of how that turned out!

[@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag]

Thanks Sean 👍🏻😉 you’re very kind 😊 … the porch and the rain is optional 🤣😎🌤 Give my regards to your wife

[@stevedarnall8556]

WOW !!!! Your Kuksa turned out beautiful you did an awesome job !!!! If I tried to carve out a Kuksa it would turn out looking like beaver poop and I'd have to have stitches and bandages from head to toe ! You created a piece of art Tom !

[@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag]

That’s very kind words my friend … I’m not sure it will fall under the category “art” 😊 But I’m glad you like it Atb to you my friend

[@stevedarnall8556]

Thanks for your feedback my friend 👍🏻😁 … maybe I’m more clumsy than others 🥴 But it’s hard not to touch yourself … and it is a very sharp knife your working with If I put on gloves I would get them … but I find that uncomfortable and odd 🤔 See you on the next one 🏕🦌 Tom

[@johncappeluti8086]

Good day sir. Lazy Sunday morning for me so watching your posts. I am in love with your kuska. Years ago I carved a kuska from a maple burl. I didn’t know about spoon carving knives at the time. I used my wood carving tools on hand and hot coals to make the opening. I am very pleased with it, but jealous of yours. It’s a beautiful working. Have a great day. The antler piece was a great piece. John

[@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag]

Thank you so much John for your kind feedback on my Kuksa 👍🏻😁 Great to hear your Kuksa story to 👌🏻😊🔥 It must have been a difficult task without the right tools ? Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and have a wonderful week🌤 Atb to you my friend 🌲🔥⛺️

[@johncappeluti8086]

Thank you very much. It was difficult yes! I used gouges mostly . When I was younger, I participated in re enactment s for colonial and native Americans living. I made my outfit to be looking like an Indian from 1750’s. I have a little Shawnee blood in my family and lots of Irish blood and heritage. I am very white , but my friends didn’t care. They were pleased to have me there around the campfire and I drank my liquid from the handmade kuska. Well, we called it a noggin. I am pleased to call you a friend and want to sit for hours learning from men like you . Take care John

[@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag]

Waw that’s quite a story 👍🏻😁 You must be proud to have Native America blood in your veins. And yes 👌🏻it could be nice to sit by the fire 🔥 together and telling story’s from our long life’s. 😇😎 Thanks again for your kindness and feedback Hope you’ll enjoy the Sunday Atb to you my friend 🌲🌤🔥

[@wilddonkey7601]

Thanks for this video, Tom. I'll be watching it several more times during my child-like attempts 😉 to replicate the beautiful kuksa you've made. As an aside, you've got a great skill in showing enough details without showing unnecessary bits that one would fast-forward through, which is likely one reason you're channel is growing so quickly. The tone of your videos is also great; as a busy physician, there's nothing better than coming home and enjoying a glass of wine or spot of whiskey and learning something new with a Cimbrer Bushcraft chill-out session. I hope by this time next year you hit 25K or more! Cheers, my man!

Did you get cracks during the drying process? I ask that because the pith of the log went through the kuksa. This is normally the death penalty for a cup. greetings from Switzerland

I was lucky to find a kuksa made in Finland yesterday at a thrift store! Researching online, it appears to be birch wood. Someone selling kuksas online said his were made from 'birch tuber wood'. What is 'tuber' mean, do you know?

[@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag]

Well it’s the same as curly birch which is the best sort 👍🏻 Up in the northern part of Scandinavia birch sometimes grow in strange shapes 🤔 I’m not completely sure … but I think it’s a kind of sickness the tree has and it makes those tuber lumps … and that’s the wood they use for carving first class Kuksa 👌🏻😉. It’s gives the amazing look and special appearance … no straight lines … so congrats with your awesome Kuksa 🙏🏻 Hope my explanation helped Atb my friend 🔥🏕🌲🌤🦌

@@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag Yes, it has the curly visual quality, which is beautiful. Thank you for your explanation. I suspected it was something like that.

Don't know how much you paid for it - was it hand-carved or machine-turned for the tourist trade? If it was hand-carved you got seriously lucky because top-notch kuksas sell for as much as €500!

@@suecollins3246 I don't know if it was hand carved. It kind of looks too perfect, so probably machine made.

Realy...the wood doesn't break through the heat?

[@valdirgoncalves4]

@@woodeneye1142 The wood is not good conductor of heat, therefore the liquids remain hot for longer in the kuksas.

[@winterfar2814]

How did you dry the wood? I’m making one out of sweet birch and I’m worried that it will crack. Should I leave it outside to dry where there is more moisture in the air so it dries slower?

[@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag]

Well I do it this way … and it works very well for me 😁 Always keep it moist during the hole process … by putting it in a plastic bag with a piece of damp paper towel. And when I’m finished carving it I let it dry slowly in the bag … but open and without the wet paper towel 😉 Before it’s completely dry I begin with sandpaper and apply oil when it’s finished and dry. Hope you can use my information 😎 Let me know how how it goes Atb to you my friend 🏕🔥🦌

Well I didn’t make a spoon on my vacation … and made a video of that project to 👌🏻 and this will be the next project video … after that … we’ll see!

Great looking kuksa, especially for your first attempt! It looks every bit as well made as any that I have seen. Well done! I've always been curious about using a kuksa. Does the oil leach out when you put hot beverages in it?

[@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag]

Only at first … after a couple of times … it’s 👌🏻 Atb to you 😎

Great job on the cup. I wish that I had the talent to do stuff like that. Just one question how do you care for it ? (Clean up) I'm thinking of buying one and I have heard to many conflicting ways.

[@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag]

Only rinse it in varm water. If it gets dry I apply a little bit of olive oil 👍🏻 Just don’t wash it in any type of dish soap 🧐🤨

[@matthewoveracre795]
