No! It's not a drink. 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.

Hi George

Nice job

, they are fun to make, the last one I made was about 24" long with 4 ropes,,,and about 4" in diam. made out of apple wood.. fun stuff to do...with old firewood.

The tool I used is like the one below and it did the job in about hour..less the sanding

BJ, I didn't use a jig. 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.

Hi George

I had a Hunch you use " gouge chisel,file " I can see the marks BUT you did a great job.

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.

**Glenmore** · 03-18-2008, 08:36 PM

Well done George my hats off to you on them twists. Really nice work.

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

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.
