The kuksas I have seen carved started with green wood and were carefully dried, but I have no experience with this. Beautiful grain. A valiant try, my brother. You could also use a large auger bit to start with. Thank you, brother.
Good video as always… a dried birch burl is good material for knife handles, but I think for a Kuksa the wood needs to be cooked. Otherwise it is to hard for the curved carving knife. Or maybe you can drill the hole with a forstner bit and put the half finished piece under water for a couple of days before you start carving. Bye 👋🏻
😥before you put linseed oil on it, I was thinking what a shame with these cracks because it looks like a very nice pattern. Sorry but your band-aid made me 😆, I'm pretty sure you just used what you had by hand instead of going inside and taking a usual band-aid.
I think the burl is to dry and old, maybe you can find a fresh piece of burl the next time. And it's not a fail sometime it happens, It's just a piece of wood 🙂
I’m impressed Vahid with your determination! Have you seen this video? ua-cam.com/video/71RTGmr8R6Y/v-deo.html Martin Hazel is a friend of mine carving Kuksas in Dorset UK. There may be a few tips you can glean from him along the way in that video.

Yes some people start with green wood. It does take great care to dry it properly without cracking. Thanks brother
Trevligt att se dig göra ett försök även om det inte blev som du tänkt dig. Ser fram emot nästa video från dig, rena terapin för mig 👊🏼
Tack ska du ha. Kul att du gillade den 😊 Det kommer fler terapivideos framöver 😆
Hi! IT very hard job! Gratulation! Salut!

Aaand good advice as always 😊 Yeah that burl was tough as nails. Some people carv it out of green burl and take great care drying it to avoid cracks.
This is how sockerskålar are borne!
failure today, success tomorrow
You should have found a bigger burl!!! Ha-Ha_Ha!!😲😳Just joking! Great video, brother.
🤣

Hehe yeah it was some sports tape laying around. It actually worked pretty well. Might have to get more 👍
