The story of kuksa

[@patriciagood9281]

Made me calm and happy to watch

[@lucienmacrose8567]

WOW! Great work on these and the mastery of the equipment was astounding to watch. Thanks for this look into what is an ancient art form that survived into this age of plastic.

[@FREEDUMB4ALL]

This was amazing! The whole thing the video the craftsmanship everything. It was somehow nostalgic for me. Beautiful kuksa's as well.

[@matthewharvey8755]

That was great. And your sanding station looks ingenious!

[@bpetnoi1472]

A sweet story told of making a traditional item with modern tools. A very nice blend of all three.

[@russel2352]

Very good, excellent in fact. Sitting here in S Africa with my Finnish Marttiini knife next to me. Would love a Kuksa but rather bulky for my needs, but I would like one anyway and would definitely use it in the heat of Africa. Very good video which I thoroughly enjoyed. Only seen snow a few times in my life, mostly overseas on business trips.

[@Laneryss]

Great History and Great Finland! Greetings from Poland!

[@oleggarbeechy5443]

very nice, I was just looking around for burl wood in my area for the first time this week. it so happens that I would stumble upon your video!

[@AntChistoff]

Thank you for the nice video! To be honest I had one tear at the end for some reason...

[@olejohanneso.friestad3992]

What a great video. truly a beautiful craft and a really beautiful way of life.

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

Great, very nice. Thanks and take care.

[@AndyBKHaas]

You live in a little knifemakers heaven ... birchwood burles and reindeer horn ... such things I can't find in the german forest. Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@MrRugercat45]

Sure, you can find Birch in Germany, certainly! It is all over the colder countries in Europe, my family lives in Slovakia and when I visited them, there were birches all over, maybe in your area you have to look a little, but you can find them. Try in the higher hills and mountains if you live near them, the colder the better for birch. The reindeer horn, you will have to order, but you can find red deer or other deer in Germany, it depends where you are, but if you can find a forest where deer roam, look around in winter, or better, spring, for horn. You can use red deer, elk, moose, reindeer, whitetail it doesn't HAVE to be reindeer. I live in the USA, in the Southeast and it's too hot for birches here, but high in the Smoky Mtns, there are some kinds of small "water birches" and such. They plant these small birches in the parking lot of banks around here, or my bank, at least. I can find whitetail deer horn here, but I usually buy or trade for some good Russian, Finnish or Karelian birch from Europe, and the reindeer horn too-brisa.fi and others knifemaking dealers sell so many kinds of reindeer horn and birch, it's the place I would buy it from!

There is plenty of birchburls to gather. I do it all the time.

[@slomkaadas9603]

Thank you for sharing with your story and knowledge. That was very interesting. Cheers from Poland 🍻

Very nice work. I'm from California U.S.A.

[@johnhelms8226]

A beautiful story.

[@alepadavano227]

Very nicely done, the skill and the talent of the Scandinavian wood workers endures.

[@mt4592]

Nordic, not scandinavia

[@АлександрПахомов-ю9я]

Kiitos !

[@markmyword1742]

Im always amazed how some could tell a story with no sound , great video

[@BushmanOutdoors]

really enjoyed this video, i plan on making my own kuksa one day. thanks for sharing, josh

[@mosku1070]

Have you done the Kuksa yet? sorry if I have bad English.

[@michael505]

Very nice, really enjoyed your video, a craft and skill that should be passed on forever

[@SteveEilertsenSouthAfrica]

Thank you. Much appreciated.

Kippis -Cheers

[@thetopicala]

Hieno video, kiitos!

[@bryanr.3241]

Osmo , can you send me one from Finland ? You should start making these along with your beautiful knife making. Peace

[@aleandrsworkshop381]

Great job, lovely video!

[@matiaskoivu5871]

Musiikki turhan kovalla. Yksi parhaimmista kuksa videoista. Kiitokset.

[@rhino5419]

before we took only what was needed and the tree healed over in 6 weeks, now we are better equiped and the tree is lucky to survive!!

[@MF175mp]

The tree was rotten inside anyway, a birch will probably rot away after a few years anyway with that kind of damage to it. And even with the old school style, a fungus will infect the birch because there is some unprotected part. Not so much about the size when it comes to birches. The real bummer is how the skill of the craft is replaced by a drum sander and that the kuksa isn't made anymore from a pahka as we call it of suitable size which makes the grain flow in line with the edges and is the point of the whole cup. This makes them cheap yes but they don't need to be cheap. Real over cheap any day.

[@irekslezak190]

So nice to watch.

[@RodrigoFreitasRF]

Beautiful. Lindo.

[@midnaurthqua6773]

Beautiful!

[@harrywhyte2299]

Great Lukas I am convinced I can now make them on the lathe I already have a few burls Harry the wood turner in scotland

[@HariKristiyanto]

Good job, I'd try this with tradisional way. It isn't easy 👍

[@bangbangcfp]

wonderful. thank you!

[@schpoingle]

really nice video, thanks for making it. The machining is interesting but it just drives home why so many of us go back to the axe and knife. A romantic piece is nothing without a romantic creation.

[@taxiuniversum]

To be honest, the Kuksas in this video are still aesthetically pleasing - I have seen "machines" ones that were super-ugly. These Kuksas in this video still involve a lot of work by hand (the sanding and shaping), and you see it.

[@CraftyPrapty]

wow

[@vroum68]

just nice and pleasant

[@alphredo7]

muito bom, parabéns.

[@DMonic951]

how did they carve the inside of the cup that part was skiped

[@kilppa]

You boil to soften it and then carve and rip out the material. Ofcourse there are curved blades for the hollowing too, but this is generally how it was done.

[@solsdadio]

My knee jerk is it was machined and that’s why it’s not shown. I don’t see the problem with that myself, it’s about using what’s to hand. You’ve got a pillar drill use it.

[@OmmerSyssel]

Drill press with pforstner drill or ordinary drill, or use a router. Chisel by hand.. It's all up to you...

[@TJackSurvival]

This was just great!

[@CircaSriYak]

+TJack Survival It'd be pretty awesome if you made a tutorial on burning in a kuksa

[@TJackSurvival]

+CircaSriYak I have one and need to finish it this way

[@mtcarver1]

great viseo

[@KMORGAN302]

Where can one buy your products. I have done a few searches and not able to find any information. Would love to sell them in my shop...

[@andreyz9705]

все очень по-доброму, спасибо за видео

[@leaojose45]

linda kuksa; quem dera ter uma .

[@derptothemaxclearly]

How where the bowls cut?

[@bigfootbushcraft7063]

Nice work!!

[@fergusrb]

I followed that along, but I don't know is how he hollowed the insides in the blank. Looks like he had a bunch of hollows in a blank and cut the outside profile from that blank. Did I miss something. Very interesting to see made.

[@SuperBrodie01]

Awesome!!

[@luisalarcon7060]

[@jcunningham2rcr]

Wayne E. glad I'm not the only one

[@Hans_Weber]

XD would been hilarious

[@ReasonAboveEverything]

The situation would have further escalated into a domestic violence case and police would have been called by neighbors.

[@oud25]

I actually just bought several tools and am going to be making some, but why does he boil them in salt water?

[@fergusrb]

I know some would turners boil their bowl blank to reduce cracking. I assume the salt also helps reduce cracking

[@PolarisMyWay]

salt stabilizing wood

[@fergusrb]

I will have to try that. I usually weigh my bowls and put them in a paper bag. Tried the soaking in diluted dish soap for the same reason. The salt water may be easier to use. Thanks

[@stonehill12385]

How long do you boil in salt water for before you dry them?

[@MrRugercat45]

The salt draws out the sap, and once the sap is out the water evaporates quickly. The boiling I am not sure why, I think it draws the salt water deeper into the wood. They usually treat it with wax (paraffin or beeswax, carnauba, whatever) after it is very well dried to seal out the moisture and keep the wood nice and in good condition.

[@mosku1070]

Does anybody know that, how the Kuksa changed color to brown?

[@matthewharvey8755]

White woods will typically do that over time. I turned a white elm a couple years ago and it turned green and grey in about 3 months. The finish you use can change it as well.

[@nick-eu5mt]

great work !! how did you cut the hole in the cup?

[@12345charmo]

would of been nice to see their grandparents make them by hand,

[@alzathoth]

wish i could carve like that. where can i buy one?

[@MartinMMeiss-mj6li]

The video shows some steps in the modern kuksa-making process, but it never showed how they do the hollowing. Also, I have heard that having finger holes in the handle is in innovation for tourists, but not authentic to the kuksa tradition. Is this so?

[@zametkiromantika]

Богат там лес на сувели, и рога прям валяются. Жаль в видео нет как делали углубление и чем пропитывали кружки

True craftsman , even with machines it shows level of expertise, I say that nay sayers need to try

[@morpheoist]

how long to boil with salt and why ? after it has boiled dry for six weeks ?

[@bob-rv7pt]

Boiling in salt water disinfects the wood and will cure more evenly. Some of the finishing oils will also disinfect but are also toxic. Great video.

[@DimitrovDA1]

Please sell me one.

[@MrReinaldo820]

parabens pelo video

[@1339LARS]

Why the sea salt ??

[@rocketguyandtompan07]

+Lars Jönlid to make it dry faster and it will disinfect the wood.

[@mihaimihalache8039]
