Today I tried to make a Kuksas drinking cup (
which are traditional wooden cups usually carved from Birch burl). Not sure if that is what I made since this is not Birch burl, but I like it anyway. This is made out of Cherry wood. I envision myself drinking an herbal tea, Nettles perhaps, out of this little cup. It was fun to make and I like the way it feels in my hand. Could be a 1/4 cup measuring cup or whatever. Could be a baby cup. Endless possibilities.
This first one I made flew off the sander and broke part of the bowl off, but I still like this little cup even though it is flawed.
