Firing the wood kiln part 4 - The Unloading

Here we are at the unloading of the kiln. It was a pretty good firing though the top was a little cooler than I like but the glazes work in a range of temperatures. There are a few pots to refire mainly in the Oribe glaze. I mention Wall pockets a lot in the video. If you aren't familiar with them they are wall vases that have a hole in the back so they can be hung on the wall. They are made and fired upside down.

I use 16lbs of table salt and I pour it onto boards approximately 2lbs at a time and just toss the board into the firebox.

It's a vase that is flattened on the back and then hung on the wall. check out the video where I make one.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I was waiting anxiously to see the results and it was worth it. Keep putting up these videos, they are so helpful to people like me that are just learning. Thanks again:)
