hang10tiki he hasn't said if he played it yet but he plays albums and writes reviews of them every day.

===================================================

Back when I was making the Sacramento Crawl mug I also cast a couple of bowls. I wanted to experiment on one with glaze. The other was a back up bowl.

Here are the steps to clean them up.

ON NO! when a hairline appears during the drying days (I dry them for weeks in and out of plastic to prevent this) there is no getting rid of this crack.

So plan two was to remove the bottom before the cracks reached the sides.

I removed the bottom ring so that it would not look like a bottom.

Then I began to carve designs.

I use a wet brush as "sandpaper".

I used tools to add holes.

Now I can make a hanging lamp or use this as a base for a large tiki lamp.

Then for more weeks I slowly dried these. No cracks came up in either. I sure hope I didn't already show these. I couldn't remember and they weren't labeled as having been shared.

Cheers, Wendy
