TALKING MUSHROOMS - Two - Odd One Out!
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
This past spring I did some pruning of an old birch tree and collected some branches for my carving cache of wood, The branches ranged in size and I cut a pile pieces cross-wise that were the blanks for my mushroom caps. Little did I realize the extensive amount of spalting that had occurred so I was indeed surprised with the results, I went mad with my carving and had 12 mushrooms on tap before you new it. Base is walnut. Enjoy!Roman, the Bootman!

Multi-Wood Dining Table
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
This was a small dining table/desk I made for en Etsy customer. I did a similar one 2-3 years ago, and it was really neat seeing how far I've come since then. The joints are cleaner and stronger, the table is more solid, and the overall look is miles ahead of what the first one was.I used red oak, sapele, walnut, alder, and cherry, with sapele skirt and legs. The finish is my personal favorite: A Tung Oil Friction Finish, where the wood is oiled and then wet-sanded from 400 to 4000 grit. In the days after the initial finish, I continually hit it with a polishing pad to make sure it was as smooth and polished as I could make it, and it really paid off in the shine it has. As an added bonus, the legs are detachable for easy shipping and storage!This was a really nice project. Simple, straightforward, and beautiful. And to top it off, the client loved it and posted a very nice review!
