Thank you all for your comments they really are appreciated.
David, We plan to show this at SWAT in the instant gallery, believe it or not you can put up to 7 pieces in.
John, The thickness on this piece is 1/4" as most of my teapots are, as l use a dowel to attach the spout and handles to the pot. l did make a couple with the spout in one but did not enjoy making them.
