I have been quietly following your work, and have become a great fan. I own two of your pots already: one small scoop (DC 2006) and a nice shallow round, very dark green, pot (visit to Hampton, VA...yew demo). Scott Last edited by abellows : 30-Jan-2007 at 06:19 PM.

Dale, Love the pots. Do you have any coming without the screws. I like them, but the texture of the pot with out the screws is awesome. I have a tree in mind.

And, as I tell folks....DON'T GUESS, ....MEASURE.... if it is for an existing plant or to replace an existing pot.

Its for an existing tree. I will get the dimensions to you as soon as I can get into the back of the hoop house.

I agree with an early comment that they have a medieval look. I sometimes suffer from the 'dumb question' syndrome, but here goes. Are the screws metal? I would think that you'd have problems in the firing with different expansions. Alternatively, I would think that they would be difficult to carve individually. In one pic I can see where you've turned the pot, so you are not using a slip process. B. (BCIT 130 days)

I only use slip as a "glue". Each pot is a one-off pot. Dale __________________ ________________________________ If you want to be Different....

You can because you know what you are doing!!! But, I do see what you mean though. I took a closer look at your pictures again and I can see the impressions better on the pots with the Phillips heads. Wow! Again, your pots are gorgeous. Be proud! Thanks for sharing them with us. B.
