I believe I am very late in this discussion, but this is what I have. I =
do not know now if you are looking for cone 6, gloss or matt. Most of =
my straws are matte.
Lily has the best idea to use a base you are happy with and try =
coloring it. That is what I spend about 25% of my studio life doing. In =
addition to combinations of Rutile, RIO and opacifiers, I have colored =
many bases with Ochre, my favorite colorant. Favorite because I can =
scrape off the rocks on the beach and it makes this ex city mouse feel =
rustic. Back to recipes.
However, these are recipes I like for Straw colors, including one called =
Straw. All in the archives, but it is the giving season again. These =
are cone 6, ox. and redux.
Yellow Oxide Glaze, cone 6, ox. Ceramics Monthly
4.35 Lithium Carb.
18.48 Zinc ox.

4.35 Tin xo.
0.44 Cu. Carb.
4.35 RIO
0.54 Ochre
Matted surface with variations.
Woo Yellow, cone 6, redux
35.64 Neph. Sye.

16.9 Talc
11.9 Silica
ADD

My result was a semi gloss with greenish pooling. However, I would
like to try it with some Rutile and opacifier to see if it gets more =
straw like.
Buttery Cream Satin Matte, cone 6 ox John Hesselberth's site
21 Dolomite
10 G:B.
9 Spodumene
5 Wollastonite
27 Custerspar

WoDo White cone 6, ox. my favorite matte white glaze revised =

50 Neph. Sye..
25 Dolomite

Similar to above glaze, add different combinations of
RIO or Ochre to get yellows to brown yellows. Many
variations in surfaces.

I am assuming the last material in this glaze is silica - the expansion
calculates very low - and with amounts of Lithium over 2% there is a chance
this glaze will shiver on some clay bodies - test well before assuming
there is not a problem.

I am totally with the people who want to replace boring old FLINT with
FLINGS! And Ron no doubt is right that too many flings can damage pots.
However: a note. It seems to me that several straw recipes I have come
across involve iron oxide (pure, in rutile, in ochre) and a teensy weensy
bit of copper. NB: straw as distinguished from yellow appears to "want"that
modifying bit of copper carb.
