woodturned mushrooms

[Nick Waring]

after reading the woodturning thread a week ago, it got me wanting to try it out. so when i was in france, i got my old mans lathe out and tried it. here are some pics of my attempts at 3 mushrooms.

 

It is the first time i have ever used a lathe, but i am pretty happy with the results.

 

*edit* may have put this in the wrong place.

Nice good job Nick:001_smile:, and if you cant sell them as mushrooms I'm sure Ann Summers have a market for them.

Very nice Nick. I bet Dean will order a few before Anne gets in there...... Oh! btw something has landed on the back of you're head.

Cheers joe, I dont try to be but I'm guessing I get it from my mum's side. During the war she was kicked out of the SS for being just a tad too spiteful............Nick, I reckon they would have been better off made as goblets.

Great stuff, I love the grain. Please don't over polish them like most do though, I much prefer them with a bit of rough myself.

Could make salt and pepper pots like that! that would be fun, need seasoned wood mind. nice shape ,nice grain, nice lathe!

Good effort indeed Nick.

 

Does the old man still turn anything?
