Don't use coconut oil it will eventually go bad and start to develop mold on it.

Here in Finland the inside of the kuksa is typically saturated with oils from coffee grouds. Pour wet, used coffee grounds to the kuksa, then rub it in until the grounds are dry. Repeat as necessary.

Actually, if one wants to be picky, a traditional kuksa is made from a bulge in the tree, where the wood grains go in all directions, thus making the kuksa better protected from shattering.

Really nice video and awesome kuksas as well. I've made a bunch of kuksas too. You should try some other fancy woods like apple or cherry if you have the opportunity. They have a much cooler grain and color, but they are more prone to crack and the wood is harder to work with.

@thesundaycarpenter2514 4 жыл бұрын

Nice Video. Loved the info at 3:33! I always wondered why people use Salt water to boil their cups... I thought it was to help pull the tanins out of the wood. Had no idea that salt helped slow the drying process. I have read that it is good to dry in a slightly open plastic bag switching bags every day until you no longer see moisture build up inside the bag...

@truckerenoch8824 4 жыл бұрын

WHAAAAAT!? That's a *great* idea with the partially sealed bags, until the condensation stops building! Thanks for mentioning that. There's a few applications I can think to use that for.

@philiplacher3396 2 жыл бұрын

I will also stick mine in the microwave for a minute to start the process. Not too long or it will burn the wood. Then I use the plastic bag to finish the drying process.

I know this is an oddly personal question but what do you do for a job? Do you sell your work to make money? I've had some trouble with school and I've found academics aren't my thing and I want to get into woodworking and blacksmithing to make some profit while doing what I love

@MakeNCreate 6 жыл бұрын

KZfaq is currently what i'm doing and making money on. I came out of school about a year ago and had no idea what to do, so I started making videos with leather working, wood working blacksmiting, etc, to trying to find out what I wanted to do. However it ended up the opposite effect and I became even more clueless as to what i wanted to do; but in the meantime my videos had garnered some attention and I had gotten a small subscriber base. So with the naive of thought that I could live of making videos I started doing it full time. And here i am today still making videos and my goal is becoming more and more realistic everyday. Monetizing creativity is hard but it can be done.

Coconut is not ideal as it often goes rancid. Nothing worse than making a lovely cup only to find it smell awful the next season. There are far better food safe finish options out there. Your use of *raw linseed oil* is spot on, however. (For others reading this: *DO NOT USE BOILED LINSEED OIL.* It contains drying agents that make it useful for woodworking and renders it not food safe)
