From the 'gift' that fell from the sky - a cherry branch - I got the inspiration to make my first wooden kuksa.
I envisioned a design with a semi-circular handle.
However, while making the kuksa I realized I didn't like the design so I changed it.
During production I mostly used machine tools to make the kuksa.
My favorite tool is definitely MANPA Multi Cutter.
It would have made my job easier if I had used a regular handsaw to remove the excess material, but unfortunately mine was no longer useful.
So I had to remove a lot of material using the MANPA Multi Cutter.
I think cherry wood is very suitable for kuksa.
The wood is hard and you can achieve a very smooth surface by fine sanding.
The foam sanding attachments made the inside curves very easy to sand.
I protected the kuksa with foodsafe mineral oil and natural beeswax.
The next day Sabina and I went on a winter hike in the beautiful Slovenian mountains.
We visited Karavanke, namely a mountain called Trupejevo Poldne, 1931m high.
At the mountain, I prepared homemade linden tea and film wonderful views with the drone.
I am extremely satisfied with the kuksa and will use it for my treking trips to nature.
I can't wait to make some more with other types of wood.
Cheers!

Koliko je star hlod?

[@MyHappyPlaceSlovenia]

Češnjev hlod sem pod hišo sušil leto in pol.
Glede na to, da je manjšega premera, lahko rečem da je bil dobro sušen za razmere na prostem.
Za notranjo uporabo pa je dovolj suh le tehnično sušen les.
Iz izkušenj sem se naučil, da se ne ‘sekiram’ več ali je les dovolj suh ali ne.
Enostavno naredim izdelek in potem naknadno ‘flikam’ morebitne razpoke.
V notranjih prostorih je pač tako, da je zrak večinoma presuh in bo les skoraj zagotovo vsaj malo razpokal.
Na prostem, kjer je preveč vlage pa se les itak vseskozi krči in razteza.
Zato pa delam izdelke samo iz masivnega lesa, ker prenese vse vremenske razmere in ga lahko praktično doživljenjsko obnavljam ;)
