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 👍🏻
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 👋 😊 👋
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! 🎄🍄
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

Hi Andy Nice little project to turn on a wet and windy day looks great.

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?
@@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...
