Hi, stumbled on your blog – I like your work very much, similar in concept to some of mine but a higher standard (honest observation, not idle flattery). Out of interest – what are your batts made of? Mine are marine ply, but they are far from ideal for flatware.
PETER – Thanks for the observation AND the idle flattery – I’ll take both!!! My bats are plastic. I use them for everything! I love the square ones for most of my pieces, especially because they use up less space on my table. But I do have two sizes of larger round ones for bowls & platters. You can find them at most ceramic supply stores. Here’s a quick link to just one source… http://www.axner.com/speedball-plastic-bats.aspx
