Nice little project Andy. I’ve never tried one of these but looks easier than a Christmas tree. I’ll have to give it a try 😊

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi STM.... Thank you... Whenever I have had the privilege to teach someone a bit of woodturning, I always start with a mushroom made from a log... There is something very satisfying about it.. even for a more experienced turner... I hope that you will enjoy making yours, and I would love to see a picture of it...😊 [e-mail] Take care my friend and all the best from Andy

[@morningsong7885]

Oh lovely piece of wood, nice bit of spalting and the finish looks very smooth 👍🏻 Would make for a great holder of bracelets or hair rubbers and the like, or just to hold in your hands and to look at ☺️ You have got a lovely series of mushrooms 🍄 indeed, all a bit different but all very special, well done, Andy 👍🏻

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Jude... I'm glad that you liked it... the spalting isn't great, but it's still a nice piece of wood ... I have a video coming up with some amazing spalting on it... Haha.. I can always trust you to think of some interesting uses for my projects 😉 I just love turning these mushrooms.. I never get tired of them... Take care Jude and all the best from Andy 👋 😊 👋

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Lovely little project Andy and I've only ever made one when I was on a turning course at Axminsters with Colwin. They are fun to make so might have a go at these next year, Take care my friend and speak soon. Cheers, Huw

Hi Andy Nice little project to turn on a wet and windy day looks great. I turned a few mushrooms years ago using wet wooden branches I made the stems much longer ,and after microwaving they all changed into interesting shapes. Have a good Christmas,look forward to your videos next year. Regards from NZ

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Mal... Haha.. yes.. and we've had a lot of wet and windy days.... I like the sound of your mushrooms.. I hadn't thought about doing that.. I may well give it a go... Thank you very much... I hope that you and yours have had a lovely Christmas and have a happy New Year... Take care my friend and all the best from Andy...

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

What a nice resting place for your gonk! The wood really gives your mushroom character. It was nice to see the process in real time. Thank you. We need to combine the wet cloudy weather you have there with the cold clear weather we have here so that we can have a white Christmas! I'm afraid the only white we'll have will be frost. Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year! 🎄🍄

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Gwynn... Haha.. yes.. You have to use nice wood for these mushrooms... I'm glad that you liked the real time .. most of my filming is way too long for real time.. We had wet and windy for 2 weeks over Christmas.. I hope that you had better in Oregon... I hope that you and yours have had a lovely Christmas and have a happy New Year... Take care my friend and all the best from Andy

[@williamellis8993]

Cute, Andy. It sort of looks like a morel mushroom. Bill

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Bill... Thank you... I just looked into it and I agree with you... I know nothing about mushrooms, and if I went out picking them, I would definitely kill myself 🤪 Take care my friend and all the best from Andy

[@garyjohnson9297]

A nice ,simple and quick peoject The spalting adda nice details to what might be a bit of holly Many turners refer ro unknown wood as F ound on ground or FOG OR IDK I don't know I give bark on natural edge pieces a dab of some shellac sanding sealer. It soaks in a bit seals it and hardens it up a bit and gives a bit if a sheen A very nice shroom

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Gary... Thank you... I'm glad that you liked it... Ahh yes , I have heard Phil Anderson refer to FOG Wood.. haha..IDK.. I like that one.. Good tip with the sanding sealer thanks.. I will try that.. Take care my friend and all the best from Andy

[@asvaldrstefansson]

There's a type of wild mushrooms called 'boletes' that tend towards bulbous stems.

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Asvaldr... Ahh very interesting ... just looked into it.. very similar stem but with a flatter top.. Thank you for your interest .... Happy New Year... Take care my friend and all the best....Andy

Great job Andy, mushrooms are one of my favourite little things to turn, they can be made from the smallest bits of scrap that lie all over the shop, we really are very similar in what we like to turn. Have a relaxed Christmas and look forward to the new year, all the best, Garry

[@didiersoler4948]

Hello Andy Great thanks for your instructive videos !!!! What's your recipe for your homemade wax? A very smooth texture.

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Didier... My pleasure.. I'm glad that you are enjoying them... 15g Carnuba and Beeswax 50g Mineral oil . Few drops of essential oil added when cooled a little but not setting...just for nice smell.. Take care my friend and all the best from Andy

[@TController]

Andy - is there an ‘optimal’ level of moisture in the logs that you are turning? I hope the ‘phoenix’ is starting to to take shape, even if it’s still on the drawing board?

[@AndysCornishCreations]

@@TController I think that it is about 12 to 15 percent ideally... But I never measure it, I like turning wet wood and havn't had any problems with cracking.. avoid Cherry as it cracks badly.. The wax or oil finish will help to slow the drying down and keep away from any heat sources so it doesn't dry quickly which can cause cracks... I poured the concrete into the foundations today and will post an update later on in the week... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
