Very novel! How did you determine the cutting line? Submerge in a bucket of paint or something like that?
Must be difficult to insert a continuous sealing lip given the high curvature at the neck end?
Thanks for posting!

Hi

That´s really a cool thing... to make it and the result itself !

There are tree trunks glued as bracings I think :))

Yaron... I see the top is broken... are you trying a new one ?

Regards

Fritz
