Carved from paper birch harvested in the Keewenah Peninsula in Northern Michigan. 

It’s deep cavernous hollow makes it perfect for sipping drinks, and it’s wider undercut rim makes this cup less splashy than other kuksas. It has a very wide scalloped rim that makes sipping very comfortable on the lip.

The rim of the cup is scalloped so it contours to your lips perfectly, with just the right shape as to not let any drops dribble down the bowl side.

Carved with care and will age beautifully overtime from your hands rubbing over the surface. They are really comforting to hold and let your fingers wander over as you ponder your favorite brew. It feels much like a touch stone, something you will want to hold and play with even when the cup is empty. It’s honestly one of the best cups I’ve ever carved and pushed my skills to the limit. It’s graceful, evenly thin and tapered strong walls, following the grain perfectly. It fits in the hand just right.

This will change your drinking experience for the rest of your life, and everything I carve is meant to last multiple generations. If you’ve been waiting a couple years for me to starting carving kuksas again, now is your chance to purchase a cup and begin your journey into kuksa dreamland.

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.
