    Default I got bored do I made this:

    Well it has been about 3 years since I last used my potter's wheel and since it was a hot Sunday I decided to start throwing on it. I got to say it took me about 3 hours (it has to be the rust). I made skuttle that is going to have a handle bucket style, the second piece is a soap bowl which is missing the lid (I will make it tomorrow) and the third is a brush handle for a silver tip badger knot that I bought. Do what do you guys think?

    That looks like a neat set! I really like the look of the scuttle with those handles, very cool.

    Is that going to be laquered or otherwise sealed?

    Looks great. I love matching sets of stuff. Glaze ?
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    The glaze it's going to be something like these with some black
    First is a carbon tapping glaze that can have a metallic some to it and the second one is a spoudamine that usually is of a Cramer texture when applied to porcelain bodies.
