Mark C. Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 After talking to my hand surgeon last week, she gave me the green light to try to throw some small stuff this week as long as I use no force with the wrist. I threw 20 baby bowls (less than 3 inches across) today.My fingers did well and all centering stress is on left palm. I feel that using the hand some after my 3-wrist bone removal (PRC) 10 weeks ago is the best therapy. And nothing is as good as clay wheelwork. I was able to do this just fine. Wareboards are still only a left hand deal but my right hand is starting to function well again. Still have a LONG way till wrist movement and grip returns as wellas fingers closing all the way but it’s a good start. I snuck in a few 2# bowls as well. Looking forward to trimming in am. It will be awhile before I can do this (production photos) kind of production again but it’s in my near future (2-4 months). These photos are last springs production-I'm not there yet.
