tea bridge - wood and clay

From the beginning I knew that I wanna make a wooden coaster or something to put inside so the pot can stand on it. And I like the wood and pottery or stone combination, it adds warmth to it.

I am quite happy with it, it is joy to use. with Petr's cup

It's quite hard and dense mineralised wood, fragile but stiff. Definitely not easy to carve but certai...
