Hello everyone,
Can any one recommend a good suppler of traditional kuksa's. I've tried the link (Outdoor Arctic Clothing) suggested in a previous thread regarding the same question however there's no mention of kuksa on the site.
Any suggestions?
Regards
Mark

Re: Kuksa
By "traditional" do you mean you want the traditional style? Or made in the traditional way? You will find most (all) of the one in tourists shops are mass-produced, mostly in low cost countries (etc China).
Political correctness is the belief that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

This one says it's made FROM Lappish birch, but doesn't say where though. 32 euro:

And this one for 4.20 €:

So it depends, do you want "traditional style" or "traditionally made"

Partioaitta ( http://www.partioaitta.fi ) and Varuste.net ( http://www.varuste.net ) offer a wide range of outdoor equipment, including kuksa's. At least the ones in Partioaitta seem to be made in the traditional way (there's no brand mentioned in Varuste.net), the material is the same in both.
