DIY07 – Walnut Kuksa Carving Kit

If you’re looking for a rewarding DIY wood project, the DIY07 Kuksa Carving Kit by BeaverCraft is a solid place to start. Designed for everyone from curious beginners to hobbyists and seasoned crafters, this all-in-one set lets you carve a traditional Scandinavian kuksa—a wooden drinking cup often used by bushcrafters, hikers, and campers. It’s a simple way to unwind, learn a timeless craft, and create something useful with your hands.

The kit includes everything you need: a versatile whittling knife for shaping, a compact bent gouge for hollowing out the cup, and a pre-cut kuksa blank made from walnut—a hardwood known for its durability, smooth texture, and rich color. You’ll also get a leather strop with polishing compound to keep your tools sharp, five sheets of sandpaper to refine your piece, cut-resistant tape for safety, beeswax and mineral oil for finishing, and a leather lace for adding a loop to your finished kuksa. Step-by-step instructions are included to walk you through the process, even if you’ve never carved before.

From a quiet evening at home to a relaxing weekend at camp, this DIY kit gives you the chance to slow down and make something lasting—by hand, and for yourself.
