Smudge Pot – $89
Smudge Pot View #1
Back in my childhood days, when the construction crews did their thing and have to leave up barricades, they didn’t have the battery-powered flashers that they have now. They put up smudge pots. These pots sort of shaped like squashed bowling balls, only a little smaller, and they actually had a flame coming out of the top. They looked like a throwback to medieval times.
This was one of those onion-sized pieces I like, and I spun it right down the center on the lathe. Gave it a good sanding them put a round nose bit in my router and held it up again the side and created a chatter effect along the side with both the router and lathe spinning in opposite directions. This carved out some nice areas that I filled with black paint and sanded off. Some signature cracks around the neck and some upholstery staples to bind them up, and my little smudge pot came to life.
