Cob Oven Base is Finished

Did a couple more batches of Cob today and finished off the base. I used a square point shovel and leveled out the top. I also hosed down the sides and used my hand to smooth every thing out. At this point I need to let it dry for a week or two then I can start building the dome. Once the dome is built and dried everything will get a coat of earthen plaster to really make it smooth and nice looking. After that a couple of coats of linseed oil to waterproof it and it'll be ready to go.

Here are a couple views:
