    I've seen old films on this in the old ways but this is the first one I've seen in modern times that has someone that skilled on the use of a hatchet. You're an expert

    Early on the Norse were certainly in parts of what later became Scotland. Many of my Highland and Isle of Skye clans have Norse origins. Maybe the Norse borrowed the cup technology from the Saami and brought it with them into Scotland. Anway, it is very useful technology whoever has the skill to make one. And beautiful too!!

    This is more of a nordic Kuksa. The Scottish Quaich has two handles, while kuksas (which originate from Lapland) only have one handle.

    • @matiaskoivu5871
      @matiaskoivu5871 5 лет назад +3

      That is correct. And in Finnland we make kuksa from birch burl.

    • @markdudley3831

      The Quaich has two handles so it can be used by either a left or right handed Scotsman !

      @DaveWilson831 3 года назад +1

      @Arska Scandinavian is the term for the regions of the Scandinavian Peninsula and Demark ...inhabited by Norwegians, Swedes, And Danes.. the term Nordic includes Scandinavia and Finland, Iceland ,the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and includes the Sápmi regions. The Kuksa in particular is from Finnish Lapland and made from the burl of a birch tree. In Norway it's a Guksi, and in Sweden it's a Kåsa.
