Well done George, they sure do grow meaty mushrooms in Texas, I wonder if it will have multiplied when I look in tomorrow!

Hi Guys

Real nice job on the mushrooms but I like my mushrooms on top of my steaks


The wooden ones are a bit hard to get down...but are loaded full of fiber (wood)...

Thanks Guys,
Next one will be a mushroom instead of a toadstool. I forgot to say what kind of wood... it's cedar.

Nicely made George, the growing season over here seems to have temporally finished so I'm making another clock, will post it in a day or two. Do you feel like me George that making these mushrooms improves ones turning techniques?

I agree 100%. They are a great way to practice. Not to mention being fun, and as Shirley says... cute.

Default mushroom from Missouri(MOshroom)

Here is my attempt of the challenge, I turned it from oak that came down during the 1/07 ice storm. I don't have a chuck so I turned it between centers. I also have to agree that this was a lot of fun to turn and a great way to learn not only turning but also about the tools. Besides pens this was my first project (besides just practice) If I do this right hopefully you can see a photo, I also added a few of my pens that I have made I hope you dont mind. Thanks for the challenge it truly is fun.
Rick
