    Burl Covered Jar

    This is a who knows what burl pot with a walnut rim. I keep doing these
    jars....I must like the assembly part. The jar finished at around 8 inches
    high and 6 inches in dia. It's finished with thinned shellac and renaissance
    wax.

    Burl Jar

    Thanks guys. You're right it does look like an oriental piece. I'm a
    potter and it seems most potters are influenced by asian pot forms.
    Guess I keep making these as more burl comes along.

    Great looking piece Phil! Our dining room is oriental and I've got a little more room so just send it on over!
