native pottery
JW_Halverson:
Quick pack it up and send it to me! I'll put it out in the Black Hills and the forest fires will fire it for you!
We'll just have to trust and hope a fire crew doesn't step on it!

I recently did some native potting from some local creek clay. It fired fine for me. I took my time easing it into the heat was all. Set it beside the fire and turned it and moved it slowly closer til i couldn't hardly touch it before actually throwing it into the fire and burying it.
Worked out good.
Will see if I can get some photos some time soon.

The winds should die by 6 pm. We have 20% chance of rain so i am going to go for it so stay tuned for pictures to night.

Just saw an article about pottery like this in the Backwoodsman. John, you could write a much better article and judging by the number of people reading this thread it would be a very popular article in P.A. Think it over!
