I am looking for any information on substitutes for lead in glazes for
wood fired earthenware. The immediate objective is for use on early
American Redware style pots.
any takers?

A Standard Borax Frit does very well for cones 02-1. Is that the sort of
thing you are thinking about, Steve and Cindy? Or you can use Nephyline
Syenite. All depends on what other materials you wish to use so that they
right balance is achieved for the kind of glaze you want.
Of course, you could fire once only and use a burnished terra sigillata with
some copper to reflect the natural red of the ware.
You are both on a path of discovery. Enjoy it.
