shrink pot stein.

[fishfish]

i set about making a barrel looking shrink pot from some ash,and once made i thought it would make a fine drinking vessel so i set about making the handle and lid,which was a challenge! no glues or nails used in construction,just a hand filed tapered pin for the hinge,all i have to do now is seal around the base with brewers pitch to make it water tight.

Looking great! Are you going to stain or colour the outside, or leave it natural?
