Getting nearer to completion. Sanded outside up to 2000 grit. One coat of flaxseed oil. Still plastic bagging to slow drying and avoid cracks. She holds about 7oz Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you my friend. Final capacity 14 ounces. I had planned it around being a big enough for a beer. I still have some minor sanding and finishing, but I wanted to drink! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First drink from my hand made birch Kuksa! It was a piece of firewood last month, now it's a cup full of tequila on the beach :). Hand tools only - hatchet and knife, coals from campfires to burn out the inside and sandpaper to finish. ...then beer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
