Hi everyone,

I noticed that Bison Tools had new listings on Etsy for their custom pottery tools.  These are EXPENSIVE.  But if you are serious into fine pottery tools, apparently these are not only long lasting, but works of art in themselves.  I'm not quite ready to shell out such money, but I thought you all might be interested in knowing where to find them.  Apparently the guy that makes them is selling them directly on Etsy.com.

Thanks for sharing. I’m with you – nice to look at and I’m sure they’re fantastic, but more $$$ than I care to spend.

Vince and Jess got me two Bison Tools for Christmas awhile back.  I THINK they’re best for leather hard carving or bone dry carving/trimming.  I trim fairly wet and that’s not what I think the tools do best.  Plus there are cautions about dropping them because the blade can easily be damaged.  I’m such a klutz anyway that I’m scared to use them!!  J   I did some carving with them on bone dry and they really are remarkable.  Maybe if and when I get into something like that I’ll use them.  Like when I retire and have TIME!

Did you know Redskin Chris Cooley is a potter?  Check out his blog entry in which he talks of his plans for a benefit art show and has video of him throwing pottery.

I don't watch Redskin stuff, but someone like Chris Cooley is so artistic doing pottery and so on.  It's very exciting to know it.  He is donating all  pots to upcoming a benefit art show.  He is very humble.  I'd like to see his paintings but I just watched his video.  It's cool!    Thanks, Sharon!       Keiko
