takahama, your pots are wonderful. The forms are beautiful and the glazes are sublime

so is this the "Leading By Example" you talked about 2 weeks ago?

very interesting idea, maybe like starting with wet/dry sandpaper in the neighborhood of 1000 grit, and working down to 800, 600... till you get the results you like.

Matt, welcome to bNUT. If you're young, don't be afraid to start with seeds. You can learn alot. But, then again, I plant seeds every year and I'm in my 40's. And I plant hawthorn seeds, which is darn near crazy since they take 2 or 3 years to germinate. But I'm on my 5th year of...

I voted Nick Lenz. I love his work and have seen several of his trees in person. But that's not why I voted for him. I love the idea of a renegade. A person who learns a craft and then moves beyond it's boundaries. I see Nick as a crotchety old man, highly opinionated, alot of foul...

thanks rockm, that link has been posted, but its buried in a thread somewhere it's such a good page that it deserves a thread of its own

ok, I will ask directly. Do you have an account on YouTube under the name, BadBoyofBonsai ? the reason i ask is because when you call a man who spent 22 of his 46 years in a front line combat unit, the last five of which in Afghanistan and Iraq..... a coward you said.... SELF EDIT I've...

I have only blocked one person on youtube. The user BadBoyofBonsai is blocked on my channel. You spent alot of time on this and other forums trying to convince people you are so opposed to people using pseudonyms, and yet, here you are, doing the exact opposite of what you preach. I am...

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't tell me, that you are BadBoyofBonsai the person I blocked from my youtube channel. Because if you are, you are in complete violation of EVERYTHING you have ever said about using a pseudonym. You are most welcome to comment on any video I post using you full and...

What do you mean coward? I am documenting EXACTLY what you write

thanks for the material for a new episode of DramaticBonsai

perhaps but.... it's perfect for my DramaticBonsai youtube channel. This stuff is GOLD I tell ya. :D

yay for drama!

These pots are between 8X6 and 7X5 inches. They are fired to cone 6. End tables? lol, well, they will probably be cactus pots, Lithops hopefully.

Back in my "greenware--to post or not to post" thread, I added a link to my LPS (local pottery supply) and some of the clay they make and sell. BonsaiNut said... So, I bought some dark clay (called Oregon Brown), and made some simple pots.... here they are... rectangles with in-set feet...

this looks like an old well, I like it I really like the texture on this one

ketoi, I hope you continue your quest into bonsai potting. You have alot of talent.

Esty is a website for artists and craftsmen who make and sell handmade items. You can find practically anything, but I did a search and found a bunch of very nice bonsai pots. I believe you can also set up an account and sell handmade pots. check out the pots here, right now there are...

looks good ketoi, but don't forget to post stuff here too. I am thinking about building a website, a myspace page or starting a blog to document some of my pottery work.

very cool Ross, what was the time-line between chopping and where it is on the first post?

Those red leaves and that pot is a brilliant combination! I wish you could get ketoi to photograph it.

wow, the managnese is being good to you. Just remember that manganese dioxide is a very dangerous inhalation hazard, which I'm sure you know, but other's may not. The pots in post #27 are awesome and the little oval mame is excellent

The finished pots are superb. You seriously need to consider building a website and going pro. You work is on par with the best in the biz (actually it exceeds)

thank you very much Paul for creating this thread. It's makes a novice like me realize how much further I have to go. I learned a lot, from this thread, but it should also serves to show just how much work is involved in making a hand-made pot for people who do not make pots.

I've been searching for my notes and I can't seem to find them. If memory serves it was either 100 or 150 grams RIO to 750ml water. But don't quote me. I'll update this when I find my notes. Another lesson learned.... I should have written it on the label right on the container I keep it...
