Does sound good tho... anyway I saw this on a video on one of the woodworking magazines and thought it might be fun to try. They make great candle holders or even lamps. This is my attempt FWIW. It's not finished but I decided to show it any way. It's made on the lathe and no jigs were used. To make Harry happy, on the next one, I will do a show and tell.

I turned the blank round on my lathe, marked the lines and only used a back saw,gouge chisel, files and sandpaper. Minus the sanding it took a little over an hour.

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King  | Haven't I always said you have to watch the quiet ones. George never says much but suddenly comes up with beauties like that. I'm impressed George, it makes me feel like giving up on turning before I've got properly into it. Well done my friend.

| Registered User Forum Geek | Hey George, So that what was on the lathe then, wow very good work there my friend. So are you going to turn a base and top and make it into a small side table or plant stand, as they look really good. Now the lathe is clear, mushroom challenge time ?. Cheers Pete

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King | We have the right climate how else would these mushrooms keep popping up? These little things really are addictive, three have grown in 24 hours, The first took about 2 hours, the second 45 minutes and the third 30 minutes. I must work on the shape, I think these may be toadstools.
