Dear Tony C:
I'm wanting to learn something from you and European foot is its name.
I was just rereading your "Green Wood" article and your term 'European
foot' jumped out at me. Please explain and don't use to many words
when a few pictures will do. Did that jug at Flagstaff U have such a
foot? What's the bottom look like?
I sure hope you're up to your neck in work, fella.

I dropped a cabinet on my arm...well first on the 200 dollar faucet
THEN my arm.

Taylor: I usually break my work down into two types- Asian foot and
European foot.. the European foot flairs out at the bottom were as the
Asian foot is cut in. I showed a stalk of bamboo on my China blog.
Prof. John Neely told me that the scar on the bamboo is the reference
for the Mashiko foot. Look at the scar and you'll see how to trim for
an Asian style foot ring. Yes, my jug at Flagstaff had a European
foot. I started flaring them out like that so that i could put the wad
under the jug and the ash wouldn't weld it to the pot. This is hard to
do with the Asian foot and often i would have the ash drip down on the
wad and I'd have to grind the wad off leaving a nasty that customers
didn't like.
the cups I make have an Asian foot which aesthetically i like better
but it doesn't suit a jug in my opinion.
I hit the trail on Saturday for Logan. If you ever want to come visit
and toss some logs you're more than welcome. They are a very
hospitable bunch at USU and someone will put ya up.
all the best,
Tony
