I did this awhile back and it wasnt particularly stable a little top heavy but not dry either. So I put aside to dry, got a bit carried away with the drying I think nearly two years :D.

stands around 30cm by 17cm Danish Oil. A little challenging to photograph

Yeah just a bit, held it by the foot and run the steady on the rim, had to repair the rim as it was badly cracked and split, super glue and a cup of coffee later back at it, for all its voids it was surprisingly solid.

I'm thinking that looks like a museum piece... straight out of an archaeological dig!

I really like it... :U
