It was nice here today.. so I got outside and started clearing some of the brush that fell during the ice storms this year.. I found a chunk of willow that was about the right size for a Kuksa, so I gave it a shot.. I doubt the willow will make a good finished product, but I wanted to do a practice run.. I followed the tutorial that Siguy posted.

Decided to give the cleaver a chance... I think the properties that make a cleaver good at being a cleaver also make it valuable around the camp...

Cleavers rock! If you guys don't have a good old school cleaver, buy one!

Ah, I see now.
Are you going to use flame, a curved knife, a normal knife, or what to hollow out the bowl?

Jim,

I'm either gonna try burning it out or use a curved wood-working tool. I used a normal knife on a spoon recently and it was difficult..

Barber,

Yep, the cleaver is all I use now kindling.. I'm looking around for more...
