I am no mason


Here is the finished arch. This time I am not removing the frame to test it. I will let it set up before I form the mold for the cavity and put on the first layer of clay.
I used about two thirds of a one gallon bucket of morter. I made the morter from the clay that I tested last year and found to have about 1/3 sand content. I added some extra sand and a bit of water to make it about the consistancy of peanut butter. It is not beautiful, but I think it will work.
