thumb|upright=1.35|A guksi Guksi or guksie (or ; ) is a type of drinking cup, traditionally duodji crafted by the Sami people of northern Scandinavia and Finland from carved birch burl.
==Manufacture== The burl is contoured to a rough shape, carefully dried to prevent the wood from cracking, then formed in accordance with the local traditions. Birch burl kuksas last longer than plain birch kuksas. Originally guksi, or kuksa, were widely used in Arctic areas as a personal drinking cup; a well-made guksi would last a lifetime.
