Good job Mike. We love the pair that we have from you.

Thank you for this demo, Mike. I’ve got a wedding to attend in a couple of weeks, and I think these will make the perfect gift, as you mentioned. Cheers.

They look great, I made 2 similar cups, then one without handle for a milk jug. I believe they are called Kuksa, not Kuska by the way. Quite time consuming though. Thanks for all the recent posts.

Thanks for the Videos! I did make one from Mulberry and will be making more of these.

I really enjoy your videos Mike. You were at BYU weren’t you? I was there in Industrial Education from 82-85.

Hi Mike,thank you for sharing so many videos!i have turned many cups from different Kinds of Wood and have the problem that some of the cups leaks and crack…if you have more information which wood you take for a natural cup without leaks, i would very thankful.best regards from Germany!

I would think any maple or medium hard closed grain wood would hold liquid. I sealed with polyurethane but Tung oil would do the job

[@timmccoy1676]

Thanks, Mike! I’ll definitely be trying one of these. What’s the best wood for it?

[@Bowlmaker60]

Anything that will hold liquid

Mike, I have looked and can't find that sanding mandrel you are using. I have used the split mandrel type, but I like the way yours works. Any source for that?

[@Bowlmaker60]

Yes. Call Treeline USA out of Provo UTah

[@Huttify]

Have you any structural (wood fiber orientation) suggestiond to look out for when making these?

[@Bowlmaker60]

Yes. I explain this when I cut the cup out of the blank

[@joekrebsbach2000]

Mike do you do remote demos?

[@Bowlmaker60]

yes
