Kiek teko pasidomėti kuksa tradiciškai drožiama iš beržo gumbo

Apie gumbą čia

Bet apskritai galima drožti iš įvairių medžių. Manau čia rasi tinkamą atsakymą

"Although kuksas were traditional made of burr wood, they can be made from any wood really. Deep hollowing in this way is quite tough, so if you've not done it before I'd recommend starting with something pretty forgiving. As Soar said, alder very is good or willow or poplar both carve very easily as well. A little harder, but still not too bad are birch, sycamore and beech.
Your hawthorne will be beautiful, but it tends to be close grained and very hard to carve, but if you can mange it you'll get a lovely finish off the tool. The same goes for fruit woods like apple and pear. Basically you can use almost any British hardwood - the only wood I wouldn't use is yew which is toxic.
What is most important is that it is green (recently felled) and you carve it fairly quickly. If you must leave it overnight put it in a plastic bag. Even if kept in a bag within a few days it will get noticeably harder and will be prone to cracking."
O dėl "bet kokio" medžio - čia jau gerb. Algirdo sritis. Manau jis galėtų plačiau pakomentuoti
