Wood - Clay - Cacti - Heavy Metal

Only one taco away from pure bliss.
The longest "straight" line I've ever cut by hand.

Fun find at HEB today. Pot by me.

A mesquite cube with some oak that was stained black. I'm never really more than marginally happy with how anything comes out, but this one is pretty good. It's about 8x8x8 and it was a fun deviation to make a cube and add a little door.

A #pachypodium #densiflorum blooming out of season in one of my "Brisket" pots.

I had some odd shaped scraps so I made a sword. Made sense in the moment.

Sowed two types of #adenium seeds and was worried about getting them mixed up, but one of them was a one hundred percent failure so it should be pretty easy.

Another pot ready for another plant.

My goal is always heavy, heavy texture.

The dust of my saw.

A reel from a week or two ago I posted on one of those other platforms.

I'm a fan at texture as you can see.

Ready for some high fire!

A lot of my pottery are for my own plants. I plan to repot one of my Boophones in this come spring.

Small keepsake box I completed a short time ago. All the pros know that the roof of the car is the best place to take pictures of your projects.

I bought the pig sculpture from Jon Nelson about a month ago. I like it so much that I built these shelves for it. The other items were just at hand and I threw up there to see what they look like. All for my "office".

A few more of my pots back from a cone ten firing.

I make these for my #cacti #pachypodium and #adeniums

Another pot back from firing.

When it comes to my pottery I'm a fan of oxide, texture and skulls.

When it's other people's pottery I have a much wider range of things I appreciate.

This is what is left of last night's snow.

Ran out of blue tape and had to dig around, only to find a roll of regular masking tape. Was still able to tape these three little shelves together to shape, but I feel like any YouTube woodworker would be horrified at that tan tape color....

I have always liked this tea box design by Mike Pekovich and I've used his idea for a string and wooden clip to keep boxes closed myself.

A jewelry box I made sometime ago but didn't finish the inside of the drawers. I need to do that and find a new home for it. Mostly pecan with poplar drawers.

A small serving tray out of oak and walnut. Or maybe it's a stand for a Bonsi pot?

A few #bonsi pots in the works.

A sandworm inspired pot that will eventually have one of my many cacti in it.

It had been about ten minutes since I'd made a little box, so I made a little box.
