I won't post any more until I have the shape right.

Well, it looks like mushrooms are addictive! Great job Harry, I think you've lived up to the challenge

curiousgeorge · 03-19-2008, 03:25 PM

Great job Harry! The apricot and plum are pretty woods. How well do they turn?

curiousgeorge · 03-19-2008, 03:26 PM

Pete, as soon as it stops raining here so I can get some stock cut I will try my hand at the mushrooms.

That will be great, trust Harry to hijack your thread hehehe
Cheers

George, I plead guilty as charged for having hijacked your thread showing that incredible Barley twist. I chose the word incredible after some thought because, I'm sure that like Bj, and myself and no doubt many others would have given it a quick glance and thought "ho hum" that's pretty easy if you have a router lathe, but it was only after reading the text that it became obvious that other than turning the cylinder on the lathe, all further work was performed using hand tools! Whilst I now know HOW George did it I'm waiting patiently for a photo-shoot SHOWING how he did it. The only excuse I can offer for the hijack is old age, any further mushroom growth will be on the correct thread started by Pete (Chippypah)

Hi Guys

I also want to see how he did it ,,,,but I want to see how he can turn it into a lamp the ones I made turned into a lamps but I had a real hard time getting the power cord from the base to the top of the turning,, I gave up and did it the easy with a 1/4" x 1/4" deep slot running up one of the ropes, and put in some wood filer to cover it up but it didn't look that great...I also used a 3/8" brass tube up the center of the other one but that one didn't look that great ...

SO I'm looking forward to see what he comes up with...

Bj, I don't think that a candlestick needs a power cord!

curiousgeorge · 03-20-2008, 11:30 AM

Harry,
Your mushrooms, or any of your fine works, are welcome in my thread at any and all times.

Bj,
Harry is right about this one being a candle stick. I still have to make the base and candle holder for it. SHMBO loves candles and we really don't need any more lamps. If it were to be a lamp, I would have put more twists and go with the 3/8" brass tube and paint it black so it wouldn't show quite so much.

Hi George

Here's some more candlestick templates that you may want to look at..
