A well-sodaed bagwall mug from the second chamber
.
I wasn't happy about the scar left after dremeling out the refractory kiln snot that fell into it from the arch
.
Now, it's just a kiln mark/gift
.
Not the same story without it

Another pound mug from this past summer's wood fire
.
A little dry under the handle, but a little unadorned clay is OK

Burned some slash

Opposed to slash and burn

An oribe refire

Waiting for the kiln to cool
.
So here's a trawler coming about in the Kennebec at the mouth of the Winnegance in front of Maine Maritime near sunset
.
Calming, unlike the regime's fascistic distractions

Fired 37 hours, burnt four cords of wood
.
Hard to ramp, using just the side stokes--too slow, but we got where we wanted to go
.
Next time we load just the 2d/soda chamber, I'll build a campfire in the chimney or preheat with a propane tank
