Trimming with a garden hoe

This is a Pete Voulkos tea bowl that I like to visit when I visit my friend Ronnie the Rat. I love how Pete used something like a garden hoe to trim this pot. Marks of process are what so interest me in pots. Glazes not so much! I have recently seen pots by Bruce Dehnert and Lisa Hammond that are trimmed with a piece of stick. These sticks leave great marks of process. Hey,

I don't think they had Dolan's and Bison tungsten carbide blades in the Medieval days when I wished I could have been a fly on the wall.
