It looks very good. Only thing I see with using this technique for this particular case is there seems to be problems with the roundness of the body. Maybe a lathe would be easier?

I think hw means the pot does not appear to be a surface of revolution. However, I can see where the actual pot could have that kind of symetric hexagonal shape to it.

It kind of adds some interest verses a more simple revolved shape.
