I’m experimenting with a new line of homemade pottery glazes. This is a green/blue design I’ve been working on. It’s almost where I want it. Pulled these out of the kiln today. I’m happy with how they turned out. Sometimes you hardly get any that turn out. The goal is to become more and more consistent with the firing results. Thanks for looking! Sculpture and sign making are my mainstay but I also have a portion of the shop space set up as a pottery studio. The goal is to eventually have pottery production happening each month as well as pottery classes. We’re still in the process of getting the shop finished and ready for classes. Stay tuned for updates! Filling cracks with shims and gorilla glue then using the arbortec mini grinder to trim and texture shims. Works great and looks great! www.customwoodcarvings.com #customwoodcarving #customwoodcarvings #customsculpture #customtreecarving #chainsawcarvingvirginia #chainsawcarvingnickelsville #chainsawcarvingscottcountyvirginia #stumpcarving #bearcarving #eaglecarving #chainsawcarvingtennessee #chainsawcarvingnorthcarolina #chainsawcarvingashville #customsculptureashville Finished the face and most of the body/ feathers today.
