primitive pottery making
Justin Snyder:
The Anasazi used buffalo chips for fuel, it burns a lot hotter and longer than wood. It actually burns without visible flame, but some wood and buffalo chips (or dry cow pies) would have your temp up in no time. Invite your kids to roast marshmallows on the fire just for good measure. ;)

Osage burns hot. Osage scraps are a natural byproduct of bow building. I'm seeing a natural progression here...

Hey I-owe-a-bow! How did you get the color striations on those pots, was it glaze or just the way the burning material reacted with the pots?
