  Steve Newberry - Kuska Cup
  

  Our own Steve Newberry will demonstrate how to turn a Kuska.  What is a Kuska you ask?  It is a type of drinking cup traditionally crafted by the Sami people of northern Scandinavia from carved birch burl. Today Kuskas are generally hand carved using traditional carving tools.  Google Kuska - it has a fascinating history.  Steve will show us how to make one on a lathe - should be interesting.
