As you can see in the photos there is a beautiful dark knot where the tree had a branch growing and eventually healed it off the knot does not run through the walls of the cup so I deem this kuksa sea worthy. I’ve reduced the price on this one for that reason.

1. Just about 6.5-7oz

2. Paper Birch - Betula Papyrifera

3. Finished with a my own oil blend (Food Safe Linseed , Beeswax, and Citrus)

*Please note that this is a freshly carved cup. I’ve given it multiple coats of oil which are still drying and will require a little bit more time to harden or cure which gives my cups a lasting a durable finish that will help keep the wood from absorbing moisture. It’s advised that you let the cup sit for a couple weeks in it’s new home before pouring liquids into them.
