Thanks Dog
The weather has been messin with me.
Covering the pit for fear of rain. Then
not having the burn as hot as I want.
Oh well the lightining sent me running.
I hope it all pans out by morning.

Well the storm hooked right around me :)
Big time lightening and rain.
I had to much fuel in the pit and had to
remove some after uncovering the pit in the morning.
I lined the pit with fire wood. (bad idea)
The lack of air stifled the burn but sure blackened the pots.
I used a bed of hay in the bottom to lay the pots on.
I filled them with horse apples and a little straw.
I covered the pit with fire wood logs.
I then covered the logs with small to big branches
and lit er up.

Âwesome! I like the neck vessel in the first pic a lot! What's the clay?
I'd probably not fire with clouds like these hovering in...
Cool to see your pit, thanks for the nice pics. Always love to see your pottery here.
Think I'll get a kilnload together by autumn, I hope.
Don't shoot!

First pic is shell tempered

Splendid mask Zuma, and faithfully reproduced  8). Really hope that fires well.
 (I like those Shaman spirit masks, I got a pic of one in a book of Native American art that I really like.)

Best of luck with that lot, interesting to see how comes out.
