Raku and Pit Firing Fuselage Sections

 Fired the first prototypes in my wood burner in the lounge. Must have reached a good 850 c with the doors just open.

 Addition of rusting compound compliments the half matured glazes.
 Final addition of oxides & sulfates.
 New fiber raku kiln set up at home.

 First wing sections to emerge from the devastation.
