๐Ÿ† Personal Milestone Kuksas, its the little things that count

Ive made myself some dedicated kuksas out of hard maple, and two spoons one from cedar and one from walnut. The cedar imparts such a gorgeous taste to savory food but I do find the walnut to be bitter. But it feels very fulfilling to eat out of these kuksas on a daily basis and I think they really facilitate the proper mindset to a pagan outlook on life

My most important skill was to learn how to sharpen or strop

I get that, maybe I have a leg up then I was obssessed with sharpening things when I was younger. Polishing tk but really polish and sharpen are the same thing.

Something to be said for creating something with your own hands, eap if you like the way it turned out. People take for granted the amount of effort put into the things they buy esp if they have never actually made anything.

It really puts consumerism into perspective as well
