We spent the morning collecting fallen trees from the forest for next years fire wood. Its so much easier to drag them back when there are two people!!!
I also carried back the tipi poles and stored in the cabin roof.
I spent the rest of the morning sawing the trees into logs
We drove to a small village about 10 miles from the cabin to buy some supplies. As we returned I took a couple of pictures of the landscape around my cabin
Later on I completed a Birch plate and kåsa
I also had a half finished kåsa/kuksa which I took back to England and completed
What wood is the kasa/kuksa made from? and what is the difference between kasa and kuksa?
Kasa is Swedish and kuksa Finnish. Kasa is the name given to a bur so anything made from a bur is called kasa. I however did not use bur wood to make these two. They are both made from a piece of Birch.
Do kuksas normally have a vertical handle and kasas horizontal?
The Finnish kuksa normally has a vertical handle with finger holes
I needed to thank you for this great read!! I am unquestionably loving every little bit of it. I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you post.
Beautiful looking countryside and lovely looking work.
