Mushrooms!

Caught mushroom fever last week and turned a couple dozen of them.

They turn pretty quick, and the cost is nominal.

All of the wood came from a few Ash trees I cut down and a large Oak branch that fell down a couple weeks ago.


A 5" high mushroom can be turned on the lathe, sanded on the lathe and then dipped in BLO-Thinner (boiled linseed oil cut 50/50 with paint thinner) all in about 10-15 minutes, and kinda fun too.
