Sawdust firing is a centuries old process for unglazed low-fire pottery.  Each piece is burnished with a spoon or polished stone while at the leatherhard state.  The piece is then allowed to dry completely and can be bisque fired if desired. Bisque fired pieces can be placed in a sagger container and fired in a gas kiln or placed in a pit. The pit fire process involves firing with wood or a good combustible material.  After the fuel has caused carbonization on the clay surface the piece is removed.  The surface can then be polished with a good carnuba wax, rubbed with furniture oil or sprayed with a clear fixative.
