Beaver Craft Set - Kuksa

The carving set is a comprehensive solution for those who want to create their own kuksa – a traditional handcrafted wooden cup often used for warm drinks. This set contains all the necessary tools and materials to craft a kuksa from scratch.

The set includes:

1. Specially designed carving knife – This knife is specifically shaped for cutting and forming the outer surface of the kuksa with precision and control, making it easier to create a smooth and balanced shape.
2. Curved gouge – The gouge is curved and designed to carefully hollow out the inside of the cup, allowing for a consistent wall thickness. This makes the work more precise and reduces the risk of cracks in the wood.
3. Roughly pre-shaped walnut kuksa blank – A pre-cut walnut block already shaped as a basic kuksa. This simplifies the process, allowing you to focus on fine-tuning and personal adjustments instead of starting completely from scratch.
4. Sandpaper – Various grades of sandpaper to help smooth and finish the surface, giving the kuksa a soft and comfortable texture.
5. Pencil – For marking details and guidelines that can help ensure symmetry and balance in the design during carving.
6. Oil and wax – These products are used to treat and seal the wood, making it more resistant to moisture and wear, which extends durability and gives the kuksa a beautiful natural sheen.
7. Leather cord – A leather cord that can be used to hang the kuksa or as a decorative touch for an authentic, rustic appearance.
8. Protective tape – Tape that protects your fingers while carving, allowing you to work more safely and reduce the risk of injury.
9. Leather strop with wax – A strop to keep the carving knife sharp, ensuring optimal results when working with the wood.
10. Instruction guide – A detailed step-by-step guide that takes you through the entire process, from the first cuts to the final finish, helping you achieve a professional result.

This set offers a well-prepared and safe approach to wood carving, enabling both beginners and experienced carvers to create a personal and functional kuksa.
