Now you've done it!!! For most of my potting life I wouldn't have given a second
look at shino. Just didn't interest me. Now, every time I open a magazine, my
eyes are riveted to the shino pieces! I love them! I can't get enough of them,
and now I feel the compulsion to own a shino mug. I need it! But alas, no one in
my area is working in shino (What is *wrong* with them???). You can bet I'll be
scouring the summer fairs looking for shino.
Thanks for the eye opening, Clayarters!

shino is, as we have state many times....strange, it has
a mind of its own.

however, catching the carbon trapping at a perfect time...like
cone 08, and adding wood scrap, getting a really heavy reduction,
will give you very black carbon trapping. (about 45 minutes worth.)
pete p. says, even cone 011 to 06 are pretty good times to
carbon trap, then let it be in reduction for the entire rest of the the
time....but, not heavy. you are correct that great shinos love cone 11.
