my first shroom

[Richard Thompson]

 

My first shroom carved in oak with the 150 and sanded with a drill sander. I used a torch to colour the top and an all over coat of heavy floor wax for the finish

I need more practice but I'm happy with it.

Looks pretty smart with the scorched top, well done

Nothing wrong with that at all, good work. Keep at it and you'll be carving all sorts in no time. Might I suggest getting some Danish oil for treatment too. I use a 50/50 mix of Danish oil and white spirits (or something similar) for mine and use a small pump sprayer for application

Well done and keep at it, you will pick up the tips from this site about the finer details. The only way to improve is to keep on carving and push what you think your limits are, you will then develop and seek additional equipment and finishing methods. But focus on what your piece of timber will be when finished and don't deviate from that .... all the best
