Hey that's the way to go Harry, first class mushroom and I bet Marlene wants to keep it. Now you can not tell me that was not fun, and great to use the nova as well. Lots of new items to play with as well, sorry that I was not on Skype but had injection and arm is hurting bad and just getting a bit more bearable now.
Cheers
Pete

Way to go Harry! Great mushroom! You're the man.
Looks like there is going to be a lot of mushrooms, tick tocks and scribbles going on in Ausie Land this fall/winter.

Great looking mushroom Harry. They sure make them different in Ozland. Now you only need about 20-30 more and you can put them at the base of one of those well manicured shrubs you have.

Oh, sorry Harry. Didn't mean to laugh.
Those 'shrooms are a pretty cool idea. Never saw anything like them before.

Harry great job on them mushroom. I didn't even attempt it yet. But you and Pete and every turner/ wood worker are an inspuration. This why I love this forum and all the forum members here. Lots to learn.

Every time I look up at my computer there seems to be another of those damn mushrooms!

George, the Plum and Apricot which were both slightly green turned beautifully, consistent with my low skill level, but Pete was dead right, they are addictive and are a good way to become familiar with all the tools. For the last one (35 minutes) I used: 1 1/2" gouge, 5/8" gouge, 10mm spindle gouge, 1/2" skew, 10mm parting chisel and 1/16" parting chisel, in fact my whole armoury!
It's now time for you George, Glenmore and all other beginners to show their masterpieces.

Hey Harry! You need to clean that DVD player. It has mushrooms growing out of it.
Mine are on the way. I've just had a few technical difficulties. Lack of skill, I suspect, is one of them.

Finally! I got some time away from cutting down bushes in the back yard, so here is my submission to the "Mushroom" challenge.
I had some trouble getting it finished... some little critter kept getting in the way.
