Gas torch in around 11:11 PM last night finally stabilized at 180° 11:11 AM today Chimney now warming up, and you can feel a draft pulling slowly as it heats up 

The bag wall complete

Macadamia nut wood splits so good

The title of this piece is called Drunk Ass We are an old community they use donkeys to haul the coffee and bring supplies to the mountain. I have a friend that wanted me to make him something donkeythemed he also likes to drink sooooooo

The back wall is almost complete. Should be really nice when it’s finished.

Moved out to the kiln to finish it’ll be five times larger. Don’t want to have to move it then 50 feet so 45 of it out-of-the-way.

Beginning and good start

When beginning of sculpture patience is the most important thing finishing as you build

To ship properly, a ceramic plate like this one on the wall needs to be treated like glass the plate on the wall packs up in a box double boxed to be shipped insurable to the size of the box on the floor. Keep in mind you have no idea what this box could go through between here and its destination.

Organizing the materials and rotating them The stack of bark will be burned in the beginning well before red heat this much bark should take around 24 to 30 hours to burn properly This will be the glaze on the outside of the work and I’ll spend the rest of the firing melting it.
