I'm not sure if potter is the right word because this also works for anyone making vessels, cutlery etc including out of wood which is exactly what's going on in here.
 Hoitaja havupuiden Levittäjä lehtipuiden Laita kimpi koloton Sekä pohja pirstaton Raukalle rakentajalle Tekijälle tökerölle Laittajalle lauluttomalle Rustaajalle runottomalle Jottei jouluoluet ohenisi Eikä medet menisi Näiden kimpien koloista Näiden lautojen lomista Tämän pohjan pieluksista Tämän uurtehen urista |
The caretaker of evergreen trees The spreader of leaf trees Give me a hole-less side board And a bottom with no shards To this poor buikder To clumsy maker To setter with no songs To writer with no poems So Yule ale wouldn't turn milder Nor the honey be gone Through the holes of these side boards Through the gaps between these boards Through the slits of this bottom Through the grooves of this carved one |
