Treewarrior's first mushroom

[Treewarrior]

Decided to have a go, this was my fourth attempt, think I've got this one right? Any advice comments good or bad welcome. Still need to find a way of getting a smooth finish rather than pure sanding. Any advice?

i try ang get them as smooth as possible with the saw and then use a grinder with a corse sanding disc.

[Holty]

did you use a carving saw or a standard saw??

good job like it

gonna be trying my hand at this also sometime...

[Treewarrior]

Just bought a stihl carving saw, makes a lot of difference. Have also got orders for 3 mushrooms today.

[desired_affect]

how much you selling them for???

[Treewarrior]

£25.00. Just testing the market. Not really sure what to ask. Any suggestions. Just started work on a Monolith for someone as stone one's in Garden centres are about £100.00!

Ive just got a cheap 115mm angle grinder and use velcro backed sanding discs between 40-60 grit.

 

£25.00 for a sanded mushroom seems ok,

I sell my rough cut ones for £15-20.

 

Post some pics of that Monolith when ur done.
