TALKING MUSHROOMS - 3 - Not Mush Room!

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


TALKING MUSHROOMS - 3 - Not Mush Room!More spalted birch only difference is the diameter size, hence the mushrooms are longer due to the extra thickness
when compared to the last group of carvings. The spalting is more dramatic!
Mounted on a sculpted walnut base the arrangement of the mushrooms was challenging but I was striving for a tight grouping as one would see in the wild. Many titles came to my head and I was stymied when out of the blue my wife Marjorie met the challenge and yelled – 'Not Mush Room!' It stuck! Thank you Marjorie!Enjoy!Roman, the Bootman, also the Mushroom Man.

Horse marquetry

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Horse marquetryI started this picture once and got so frustrated I gave up for a while. I sent a picture of it such as it was to my sister (it's her horse) and she said “I love it. Don't get rid of it!” So I kept it around and finally came back to it. Here's what I ended up with. I don't hate it anymore.
The frame is from some walnut I've had sitting around foryears. The person I bought it from said it was from a barn in Pennsylvania from around the turn of the century (not the current one). Beautiful wood. Hard to imagine using it on a barn. Anyway it seemed like a fitting wood to use for a horse picture.
The second picture is another one I did of her horse after I gave up on the other picture. It was much easier to do a wide shot and not have to worry about the face details. Kind of a cop out I know. The background was a piece of veneer that I was saving for just the right picture.George
