Clay Whistle -- Sawdust Fired


Whistle, native clay, sawdust fired. 


Steel can with holes in side to allow air to keep eventual fire burning. 

Layer of sawdust (belt sander coarseness best), spacing works so there is enough fuel (sawdust) to fire them properly.  

Add layer of sawdust on top. Place more works on this second layer. 
Cover again with top layer of sawdust. 

Put easy ignition material on top...in this case, newspaper.

Ignite.

Cover, though with ability for air to circulate and keep fire going. 
Pieces will be fired once the sawdust burns away. 

The works will all end up on the bottom, laying on the remains of the burned/charred sawdust.
