First firing in a while...solid.

 Finally making a little studio time and a new batch of work arrived the 27th. I have mixed up a batch of cone 6 Tenmoku from a recipe I found on the web. It is credited to James Jacobs of Mesa Community College. I am really pleased with the results.  I noticed that while the kiln was in it's final hold that the temperature was reading below the cone six maximum temperature and later thought to cross verify the thermocouple with my portable digital.  I need do this again for a full cycle but the kiln and the portable were within a degree or two descending at this low temp.
