1st Lathe Mushroom
Had some pieces of apple wood from a tree of mine that ice tore down some limbs last winter. Was going to use them in smoker and noticed one had a bunch of weird looking growths on it, so it was saved. Wanted to do a mushroom and thought this wood might be good for it. I left some live edge on it to set off the grain a little. It came out a lot better than I figured. The grain direction gave me fits, but got it done. One of the pictures was with lights off and flash on to really pop the different grains. The finish is just Triple E after sanded to a high grit. The size is around 5" wide and 7 1/2" tall.
It now sits at my mother's home.

Your mushroom presents beautiful grain more beautiful! I like the live edge you left.

Nice work, Mike! Looks like that grain would’ve been challenging in a few spots.
May you have the day you deserve!
Nice project.
