wood turning a great gift idea

A great gift idea from tree branches. This woodturning video is a mushroom tealight. I turned this from a cherry tree branch that turned out to be very figured wood grain. I think it's beautiful dark wood with the figure. This branch was just scrap wood left over from a longer tree branch. sanded to 400 and finished with friction polish. This would make a great gift idea. Giving wood turned mushrooms for gifts.
Thanks for watching!

Oh gee wiz! Look! Is that supposed to be a mushroom? Uh, thanks.

[@RcWoodturning]

Thanks

[@PilgrimPiper]

Very cool. I enjoy your videos. What kind of branch ? Is there a link you could direct me to which says what type of wood should be used for different projects ? Peaceful day to you

[@RcWoodturning]

Thank you! The wood is cherry. I don't know of any links. I just use what I have for different projects.

[@dregag4415]

Great work... as usual! Curious - what type of lathe do you use?

[@RcWoodturning]

Thank you! The yellow one is a harbor freight. I recently got a smaller white one. It's a shop fox. I've had the harbor freight quite awhile. It works great. It's a little noisy with the Reeves drive but it's good other then that.

[@robertketzler1052]

Nice work, what is the finish that I see you usually use?

[@RcWoodturning]

Thank you! It's friction polish. Shellac, denatured alcohol, and boiled linseed oil.
