A small kuksa

Today I decided not to make a spoon, but try something more elaborate than that. I got my tools out, selected a bit of straight grained beech from my meager woodpile (I need to go find new...) and began to chop and chop and slice untill I had something kuksa-looking. It only lacked the hollow. I thought that this would be a tedious task with just my Mora 164 to go at it, but the old faithful piece of steel surprised me once again. Despite the bad reviews it gets I get along with it very well. It left very nice clean cuts and removed wood at a decent pace. Anyhow, here are some pictures:

Chopping out the rough shape.

Beginning to form the bowl-shape

I forgot to take more WIP-pictures, so here is it in its near-finished state. 

Once it was nearly done I noticed a beginning crack in the front of the bowl. I superglued it, and will dry it very slowly to stop it from developing further.
