Nice job Dean! I love making mushrooms. For clearing waste wood under the cap, I've put my tool rest at a 45° angle and let the left corner of the rest get close to the stem and under the cap. Then I don't have the overhang of the tool. That vibration on a ⅜" spindle gouge is scary. You're a brave man! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏾
These are amazing. My Bride gave me a lathe for my birthday and I can't wait to try making a few mushrooms, Gnomes and other cool items I've been watching you make. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
Nice demo on doing a mushroom. The irregular top is the only way to go. I love the look of it that way. Kind of like the Black Locust droop bowl I did. It has a very rugged rim on it. Gary
It's easy to get the tool rest nearer to the the undercut. Just point the LHS of the tool rest close to the stalk of the mushroom at 90 deg along the undercut.. I prefer a parting tool for a deeper undercut but the gouge works too.
I see you use the Minwax antique oil finish a lot. Approximately how long does it take to dry & degas? I am beginning to make items to sell for the holidays and just want to plan enough time for the finishing part.
It dries to the touch in a few hours I normally wait 24 between coates and allow 2 days for it to cure before wraping or taking to a show. Thanks for Watching!!!
The secret is when turning green wood coat it with danish oil or Minwax antique oil finish as soon as you get through turning it then the next day put another coat and once you have three coats on there you will get very little if any cracking at all
Hey love the mushrooms I think I’ll try to make some been turning for bout a yr now, also you said u was from east texas what part I’m in east texas born and raised here

I have done a few small ones. But when I try to do the bigger ones, they split. I had the same problem with the gnomes. What am I doing wrong?

@@DeansWoodworking THANK YOU
Great video sir! I'm intrigued about the worksurface your tool rest seems to be attached to. Is that shop made?
Yes, it is! I drilled a 1" hole in a 1/4" piece of plywood and put my tool rest through it.
@@DeansWoodworking Gotcha, that's a good idea - should definitely help keep all the mess from getting down in your lathe. Thanks Mr. Dean!
The reason I did this was so the overhead camera would have a better background and the turning would stand out.
@@DeansWoodworking Well that makes perfect sense too. Thanks again!
