FAQ:

What kind of wood is this carved from?
Dry, seasoned White Birch.

Where was this filmed?
Alberta, Canada.

How long did this kuksa take to carve?
It took me over 20 hours to carve and sand before I oiled it.

What kind of oil did I finish this kuksa with?
100% food-grade walnut oil. This is my preferred oil to finish eating/drinking utensils with. It leaves a beautiful finish that protects the woods and develops a very nice patina.

Is this carving for sale?
No. Nothing on my channel is for sale as of right now. I’m hoping one day I will be able to focus more on carving and eventually sell some of my work.

What tools do I use?
Hatchet – Marbles 700 DB
Knife – Helle Sigmund
Chisels – Cheap chisel set I bought from Amazon. They’re not very good quality and most of them needed regrinding and sharpening to be functional.
Gouge – Henry Taylor bent gouge
Spoon Knife – Mora hook knife
