IMG_3441.jpg I have just commissioned my first pot.
I'm very excited.
This is the pot on his website.
Mine will be like this but with some specific measurements.
4-6 weeks turn around time :)
Can't wait- happy dance

Excellent! My Wife has a few from Chuck she had him make to specification. He is a great guy to work with :) If I remember correct they would discuss what she wanted and in a short period of time he would send pictures and let her choose one from a few he fired, Although they were similar one was always "just right" ;)
You will also be very pleased with the quality:)

I have several Iker pots. I just placed an order a couple of days ago in fact.

I wondered who got it.

She has had a few made there. A day or two after you posted she mentioned she will be needing an "interesting" cascade pot for a tropical she has been working on. Her Birthday is in a couple weeks and I figured another gift would not hurt :p
What size did you request? Reason I ask is I will need a fairly beefy one this Spring for a Cascade I am working on. Hoping he can fire one large enough, only plain for me.

I'm sure he can do that.
I asked for mine to be taller and slimmer.
In the old fashioned way. I have something I want to do.
I know it's not the way cascade is displayed anymore but I want to do this one.

I will be doing the same only larger. I am working on a Rhododendron cascade that should be about 33 inches from the trunk to the end of the cascade next Spring. I prefer the older style for certain plants like that.

IMG_4038.JPG IMG_4039.JPG Got my pot today.
His photos made me a little nervous because the tone was lighter brown than the original and the details didn't show well. After getting it in my hand though the coloring is the same as the original. He does nice work.
There is another on his site just like mine.

It is bigger than my intended purpose but I will find something nice for it.

Nice! So the new listing is the same size as yours? Crystal will be opening hers today and I am certain she will be pleased seeing these - Thank you!

It was her favorite package indeed :) The Owner and others where she works asked for a picture so she took a couple with her phone - one person actually asked what kind of wood it was :p They were all amazed after she explained:rolleyes:

Yeah. That's great news.
He does make nice pots. Good prices and fast shipping. It's almost like he's done this for years. :D
