Shrinkpots

The "shrink pot" technique takes advantage of the fact that wood shrinks as it dries. The body is carved from wet or green wood, shaped and hollowed, then a dry wooden base is inserted. As the wood dries, the base is locked into place. Wooden lids are added to fit snugly although sometimes can be loosely fit or in the case of some of my shrinkpots they can have a sliding lid via a panel nail.
