I like it. Love the wood too. Nice grain pattern.

Your skills are getting better each and every project.

Thanks everyone for the comments. The kuksa is a scandinavian drinking cup! Many artisans that partake in bush craft make them and I wanted to give it a try. From my investigation on these it seems much like a spoon as there are many creative takes on the final piece visually and this was my first try.

Thanks again friends, be well!

Where do you do these things spoons/cups? The coloring on this looks interesting.

This one looks a little more difficult than a spoon as it it so much deeper.

Keep spoon feeding us your projects as each one outdoes the one before!
