And of course he has been working on yarn bowls. Here's some he made that were almost ready to go in the kiln. The new kiln holds A LOT of yarn bowls!
Here's the new kiln. We have actually had it for over a year probably but now we finally had a place to put it and got it all wired up and ready to go! We had about 7 of those bowls explode during the first firing - it takes a little time to learn a new kiln but the remainder have all been glazed and are up on the website. I'm really glad it is outside because the other one is inside and it makes the house about 120 degrees when it is running!
On Sunday I snapped this picture of a butterfly on our ginourmous thistle bush that we have out on the side of the house. Cool, eh?

He did a great job - it looks fabulous.
I love the butterfly pic. Looks like a tiger swallow.
very nice island! is he available for rent? hahaha! that is a great pic of the butterfly!
Just took a peek at the yarn bowls and I think they're great! I love the one that says "Make socks not war". I belong to the Yahoo group Socks For Soldiers, and we make regulation size and color wool socks for deployed military personnel. It would be wonderful to be put out of a job.
Tell Mr Man he can build me an island anytime. ;)
Hooray for the new kiln. :)
Beautiful carpentry and pottery work! I also love the views of your home and property. It must be very beautiful there.
That is a beautiful island. I ca't believe he used all scrap wood, it looks so professional. If he keeps it up, you could have another business on your hands!
You're tagged! Come see my blog for details.
Lovely kitchen island. Wish I knew someone that could make neat things like that!
Still another Mr. Man project? I'll gift wrap Daddy Dawg with a bow if you would just let me swap.
