OT: French Butter Keeper

Buckwoody Egger

in the spirit of providing unsolicited opinions— wanted to share that those look great and are worth every penny!

#7 looks like a mandrill monkey abstract. #3 and #6 bring coastal/beach to mind. #5 looks like sand dunes. 

thanks for sharing

Thanks for the update, Mike.

If possible, I opt for #4, #7, and #1.

So your first choice is number 4. 

@legume gets the next choice, and so on down the line, in order by the date/time people messaged/PM’d me. 

Listed in order of preference. I put them all down, to make it easier for my brain. I promise there was no ulterior, or nefarious, motive @Legume !

I'm fine with however you are allotting these. If my other picks are not available, can I opt for the November firing for one (or two)?

I don't know what it says about me, but 7 looks like a wang

This is where things currently stand. Waiting for @ohioegger to make their selection.

Taking a long shot here, @OhioEgger if you're no longer interested may I take your spot please? That's assuming Mike is okay with shipping to GWN and I get to pick next 😂 

If not, Mike can you sign me up for November please? Thanks

Missed it by a few hours, no more trade deals with Canada.

Canugghead

Yup, deport him!

Canugghead

Wait a minute, stop wasting time waiting guys...

OhioEgger

Yes, I gave my spot to @caliking a long time ago. Sorry if some of you missed that.

Missed that, sorry. 

@caliking You're up with your second choice.

@caliking was too polite to set the records straight

But he's not Canadian, are you sure he's polite?

@CTMike #1 is my next pick, since #7 has been taken.

I don't know how polite I am. There are plenty of people who think I'm an a-hole

I thought you dealt with them, not that you were one. 

Legume

@CTMike - could you please share finished pics now of the butter keepers to be fired in November? @caliking would like a look to decide if he should wait. Artist renderings would be fine, as long as they capture both sides.

My uncle hasn’t made the butter keepers for the November firing yet. Also, most pieces go in to the anagama uncolored, the color comes from the various species of wood and resultant ash used for the firing. In this photo, circled in red are three of the butter keepers from this past firing, so there is no way to predict the outcome:

@CTMike
Do you know when you will start the list for the November firing?

Canugghead

Sorry for butting in Mike, barring any DMs, hopefully I'm 3rd in line for Nov? Thanks

Once I get this batch shipped out I will get another list going, and check in with my uncle to see how many he thinks he will be able to fire in the next batch.

Oh man, my sarcasm didn't travel well.  I was attempting to tease @caliking with my absurd request to see the finished product or artists renderings before they're fired.  I actually love that you don't know what's going to come out until it does.

CTMike

I can be a little thick at times. 🤣

I got it, but couldn't get around to posting an i-see-what-you-did-there meme that day

Canugghead

I was going to say Mike should show @caliking pictures of the inside before firing too 😂
