Finally, my last kiln load was a 100% success. That doesn't happen every fire. The majority of the work inside was a final fire before putting them in the sawdust fire finish barrel. There were a couple with regular glaze on them. Two fruit bowls that came out nice. I couldn't help thinking looking at the hand built one, "This glaze came out very nice, but I liked the texture and feel before the glaze better." I often feel that way.
