If you've got a nice blue bottle to spare, can you ship it over here? Paypal's good for that sort of thing. Or maybe swap one or two for an Ark48...

I really need to get on the case with the fretless slide monster CBG...

Yep- I always envied Rory Gallagher for his pill-bottle slide. He had to go to the US for it- you guys got that sort of thing over there, do you not? Oh, and European wine bottles have narrow necks- can't even get a pinky in one! That's why we have to make 'em I suppose...

Jeff, don't give up those bottles until the pills are gone!

Comment by Andy Busch on October 9, 2017 at 3:20am

These are REALLY nice!  Hey Jeff!  You have a "stash" of medical bottles, you say?  As in, like Coricidin bottles?  Would you ever want to part with any?

Hi Dave- uJ referred me to you... Yes, they are nice pieces; pic doesn't do them justice (shot in poor light with an iPad mini). If we get some sunshine here I'll take some proper pics with an SLR and post them. Real gold leaf I am reliably informed...

So- where can I get a look at some of yours?
Comment by Dave Lynas on October 8, 2017 at 11:21pm
Wow! These are beautiful. They have the look of carbon trapping. It's a favorite glaze technique I use on Shino glaze. Very ancient looking. I think I'll throw some slides tomorrow at the studio. :^)

Walt, Dave Lynas, here on CBN.  Quite a good artist, musician, slide maker and master limberjack maker.  Take a look at his photos.
