Bart and Kevin, interesting that you should mention oval. I actually did one last week, it isn't as easy as it seems. First, doing the oval thing in itself 'is' actually easy, but it does take time and the pot can no longer be trimmed on the wheel. You have to do hand trimming and the oval shape is...welllllll.... hard to get real oval. Hope to get it back in a few weeks.... note to Kevin: doing pottery in a studio takes a long time, doing it at your own place shortens the time frame, but you know that... others do not!

Gee, Jay.

It would seem that an engineer ought to be able to make a wheel that would allow you to do ovals

Yeah, it would involve cams and the like and probably look like a Rube Goldberg creation, but, hey!!


Regards,

Bart
