Re: latest firing
What is the 2nd one?
I certainly like the first and believe I'll like the 2nd one as well!

One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

The second , large pot is modelled from a hollow stump . It is very close in colour to the first pot shown . Here are a couple of different angles . Graham

Re: latest firing
I absolutely love where you are going with this style for the 2nd one. I had no idea what I was even looking at until you showed more pics. I just feel that that particular one doesn't float my boat, just because it looks odd to me with the raised boomerang look. I love the middle section of it, and I love the idea behind it. But if it was even more 'natural' looking I would love it, perhaps with a more larger area to one side of it and not as raised as much, or perhaps just with a more curved around the horizontal would be more to my liking, but thats just my If I wasn't so bankrupt at the moment and I saw different styles of these, I would probably buy one at a potter display.

Re: latest firing
This big pot is definitely different ( although I built one quite similar today) . As to looking natural it is modelled from a natural tree trunk and is very close in appearance . There will be variations on the theme , watch this space . I am sure that when the person who has the right tree spots this pot they will buy it and create a masterpiece . Graham

Re: latest firing
A couple more from the last firing . More in the pipeline this week . Anyone interested in burls as pots ? I have worked out (I almost said 'perfected') a good method for sealing the inside of a hollowed wooden piece . Graham

A burl as a pot? That is interesting, it'd be nice to see it I'd think.

Have a couple of pots of yours that I'm looking forward to using

Re: latest firing
The compound I use to seal burls and logs is one that I developed and it is 'commercial in confidence ' at least for the time being . I already have a couple of trees in burls they have a natural look and it is no different to having a tree in a ceramic pot . The timber pot will certainly not last a thousand years , but by the time it rota away I don't think I will be worried about it .
Have a look at http://www.bonsaipots-g.com , there is some interesting stuff there .
Hi to you Jason ! Sorry I didn't recognize you .
Cheers Graham

Re: latest firing
Hi Graham, nice work I particularly like the look of the pot photographed at the bottom right of your home page captioned "Close up of a 300mm round with two of our most popular glazes."
Also, you mention "thunder eggs" ... I'd love to see what creations you've come up with using them
