    Default Kuksa for a friend.

    A good friend of mine is being made reduntant from the company where I work, I will be sad to see him go as we pass each other every morning and have good chats about all sorts of subjects, one of his favourite subjects is handmade catapults and walking sticks, I have saved him wood in the past and he makes catapults from the forked bits of branches, he knows that I carve but has never seen any of my work so I thought that I would make him a Kuksa, its made from Birch and I have presented it in this box with dry wood chippings that are saved from the making of the Kuksa. I also cut a piece of the bark from the tree that the wood came from and hand written onto it some care instructions for the Kuksa.

    Lovely work dude! i really like the idea of sending it with the chippings, he could have a fire and a nip.

    Beautiful idea, really well presented too. Good friends at work are hard to come by so i hope you keep in touch.
