@@JustinthetreesFeel that 😂 made a small cup out of a box elder burl I cut off of a dead tree near the Red Deer River in Alberta, and luckily the pinkish red core and nice chatoyancy of the burl compensated for the shallow gouge job.

Love your channel, you inspire my carving ideas and are an amazing carpenter and a funny editor lol. 😂❤
Finn here, that's a pretty good kuksa and your dad has really good pronunciation. The only criticisms I have on this are that Finland is not a part of Scandinavia (Scandinavia refers directly to the Scandi mountain range, the countries in Scandinavia are Sweden, Norway, and Denmark), just Nordic (Nordic countries are a group of countries with historical and cultural ties to each other in the northern part of Europe, the Nordic countries are Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland), and the kuksa isn't deep enough, which makes it look more like a ladle than a cup.
That was informative, I hope we don't ever meet and I'll forget your comment soon. Because it makes me want to travel all the nordic countries plus the baltics one by one and I'm just too old for that (because a number of eastern european countries first, more London and the UK in general, maybe France before that, then what we said here before some Far East and/or the US, because at 60 who knows if I'll be able to take the cold, finally the relatives in Australia, but that's just too expensive, and what if I like one place so much I want to visit 10 times, man, there's just no time to sleep!)

Man, I love this channel. Every time one of these videos comes up while scrolling, I have to stop and watch. I’ve never been disappointed. Always interesting and fun. Keep up the great work, my man.
His Finnish is actually pretty good! I didn't quite catch the first phrase, but after he said: I hope Finnish people like it. Respect for learning Finnish so well! Hyvää päivää teille Suomesta! Also, I love your carving jobs! Well done!
Its insane how you revolutionized wood working into a interesting niche that attracts a large audience through the use of history and fascinating topics.
My grandfather used to work with wood before having a stroke and a few months later he couldn't move his left side and now he only has a few weeks left this just touched me in a way that gave me nostalgia of watching my grandpa do wood work he was amazing we call him Woody because he was one of the best of his craft in his area he did wonders with wood
As a Kentuckian with a botanist as a father, can confirm Kentucky Coffee Tree coffee is a bit more of an acquired taste than even regular coffee. Love the scream at the end, cracked me up good.
As a Finn im very happy that your dad enjoyed our beatufull country. ❤ And for your dad: Suomenkielesi kuulostaa hyvältä ja toivon että näemme teitä Suomessa toiskekkin. 😊😊😊
Todella hyvä kuksa! Suomalaiset pitävät, voin ehdottomasti sanoa. On tilaa sen parantamiselle kyllä mutta ensimmäiselle kerralle, miun on pakko sanoa et hyvä on!
This is genuinely one of my favorite channels on TH-cam. I love learning things about trees that I never knew I wanted to learn, the visuals are great, your tone, cadence, etc. is pleasant to listen to, and the trees make beautiful pieces of art. Never change ❤️
I got into learning wood carving because of your videos and man can I say, you make it look so easy 😅 it’s fun to do but I definitely need loads of practice.
as a finnish person i can say that the kuksa is not deep enough it looks thing but for the first attempt you did well i also recommend making 2 holes for fingers
Im so excited you actually attributed the kuksa to the saami! My grandmother is saami and ive seen so many people attribute a lot of saami things to different Scandinavian countries instead of the indigenous people.
Finn here ❤ great attempt, you should have fat treated the kuksa first with coffee grounds before using it to get a layer between wood and your drink. Nice spoken Finnish from your father ❤
Ive worked with metal as a welder and little bit of wood work and i say, wood working is unique in its own way and smells so much nicer than soot and rusty metal
To add, in Sapmi it’s called a Guksi and in Swedish it’s called Kåsa. And while there, the ”Å” isn’t pronounced like an A, it’s pronounced like the o-sound in ”more” or ”four”.
As a Finn, that's a neat lil kuksa. Do a deeper one next. The material may be an insulator, but you'll still want more depth to the exposed surface to keep your coffee nice and hot. And don't forget to soak the kuksa in salt water and season the insides properly with coffee grinds! The salt keeps the wood from splitting, and the coffee grease makes the inside water-proof and easy to rinse clean, eventually.
My Finnish grandfather carved many of them. When we visited his farm and did sauna it always ended with strong black coffee in one of his beautiful hand made Kuksa
Nice one! As a swede its fun to hear you mention the sami and the kuksa. I had a sloyd teacher that told me once that the handle of the kuksa should be higher than the part that holds the liquid so to lay in the hand better and be slim, without holes and the hold grapsed by your thumb. Not sure about thia description but maybe something for your next one!
The pictures that you showed of "kuksa" are actually not something I would call a kuksa. Its more of a wooden cup that is marketed towards tourists and is ripping off traditional Saami handcrafts or duodji. It is a fair misconception as the representation of duodji in the internet is not so vast. But great video never the less.
There is lots of scientific research showing compounds in Birch trees (you mentioned they were usually carved out of Birch burl,) are incredibly incredibly healthy for you.
It always puts a smile on my face whenever Finland gets mentioned, though as you can probably tell by other comments that kuksa isnt quite deep enough and Finland isnt scandinavian. Other than that, great video and really good pronounciation from your father
