My first shrink pot.

[fishfish]

Allways admired the shrink pots that clever sorts make,i thought ide have a go,i have a quantity of Rowan at the moment so how hard could it be? well given i only used my regular spoon carving tools it was incredably hard on the hands and forearm muscels, i wont be doing another this size for a while i can tell you!

thanks for looking.

Nice looking, Shrink pot, the base is dry wood, that will fit inside a grove on the pot that is made of green wood, the green wood shrinks gripping the dry wood and makes a tight fit.

 

[Harvestman]

Ahh, cunning.

Thank you.
