despite it raining all day since arrival today has been a truly excellent moment for my personal wellbeing..!? an interesting insight into the #Kuksa history from @adamson_craft and it was straight into the socially distanced carving action.. more #NTUmakerclub inspiration.. 😀
a great mix of hands-on making alongside demonstration of technique at appropriate moments throughout the day.. plus the opportunity to get to grips with a whole heap of tooling to try out along the way.. possibly a few books worth hinting for too.. #KuksaCarving #SundayFunday 😆
it doesn’t take too long to turn that original lump of Alder into something vaguely #Kuksa-like.. and there isn’t a need for massive tool list to get you there.. good to get some axe practice in before switching it up with the knives and gouges.. time to hollow out this thing..!?
today was an all day course so plenty of time to take your time and take on board those little nuggets of wisdom from @adamson_craft himself.. we all start out with the same general template but throughout the day each #Kuksa takes its own shape.. #woodcarving #wellbeing
end of day and getting round to the final touches I opted for a slightly different handle.. this way the eldest daughter can get some use out of it when finally finished.. otherwise it would sit around doing nothing like most of the stuff I make..!? 😆 #MakersHour #makingstuff
oh.. and one benefit of knowing fantastic people like @adamson_craft and @Greenwoodteach is that you never leave the party without a small parting gift..!? a nice fresh log to take home in readiness for a socially distanced backyard #NTUmakerclub #spooncarving session..!? 😆🙌
