I appreciate the depth of knowledge represented here, and I am in awe of your skills. I look forward to posting a lot with you.

Attached are some pics of an early potpourri pot I made a couple of Christmases ago. Comments welcome.

Dude, you've been hanging and watching for 2 yrs? BTW that's nice work and a direction I would like to go in. I just bought 4 of those little potpourri lids last week. Hope mine turn out as nice.
