Graham,

Interesting work. Love the last image posted but just feel the feet are too heavy visually. Very tempting!

Cheers,

Graham,

I am in awe.
The first time I have seen pots that compliment nature as with the tree.
All one, as in nature.

Regards

My grey hair is my solar panel, as with the leaf on the bonsai is theirs.

Thanks for the compliment John ! I will be down your way for a couple of weeks in late June early July . Phone number is on the website . Here are acouple of shots of thunder eggs as promised and a couple of burls . The burl with the tree (scruffy tree) is a natural hollow and has no lining , the tree has been in it for four years and no apparent problems . Once the burls are coated with my new brew they should be good for a long time .

Hi Graham
I'm particularly interested in the timber treatment -- I have a few pieces of wood I would love to use as pots but everything I have tried doesn't last
Do you sell the liquid?
Those are really nice pots as well - rustic well suited to natives!

Hi Steve ,
it is actually a powder . If you give me an idea of the area to be covered I am sure we could work something out . it would be good to have another person using it and get some feedback . My phone and email are on the website . Cheers Graham
PS just hollowed out a huge hunk , it is about 500 mm by 400 mm and 200 mm deep at least . Hope to line it tomorrow .

That little burl with the tree was my first burl . It was sitting on top of a log and already hollow . I cut it off with a handsaw and drilled a couple of drainage holes . No lining , that thing is winging it ! Now that I have worked out the lining membrane perhaps I will clean it out this Spring and give it a coat . The tree will have to go into a group on my big granite slab . The granite slab that I carried down the hill , over the burnt logs , through the thistles , etc. only to be told "You are not selling that !" . Guess I'll keep it. Cheers Graham

Hardly qualifies as "latest firing" but I am having great fun with the Bruce Findley moulds I acquired recently . This pot is still green or air dry . Graham

I like gardening - it's a place where I find myself when I need to lose myself.
