The wood underneath had burnt away and the shavings were reduced to a fine crumbly ash, as had much of the seaweed. I had expected it to burn away completely but it was still there
(sorry about the picture quality - the camera objected to taking photos of dark things at dusk)
So, a bit of cleaning and we had 6 pots of assorted shades of grey. What hadn't worked was the bean tin saggars - the shavings were still completely uncombusted. The answer to that was simple
1 enthusiastic pyromanic + 1 restored Victorian kick-forge
= 1 collection of smokefired beads and buttons
The pots and beads are now for sale here
