I'm not sure just how smooth you mean, Big Dave, but I use a brown/black
from Aardvark that is dark brown and I think is relatively smooth. It's
easy to throw, also, if that matters to you ... does to me.

Lizella from Lizella, Georgia, however it can only be fired to Cone 6, best
at cone 5 oxidation. I have no experience with it in reduction, but you could
ask them.
