Excellent video and a huge learning session for me. I've spent hundreds of hours on my lathe and could never step off into offset turning. I will now. You made it seem easy. Sharp tools are key. Thank you very much.
Excellent... New turner here and two things that stuck out to me that I learned... 1 charring the base for a little warp and 2, off center turning. Never tried that. Looks like a fun project and I will definitely give this a go! Also glad to see others that use carbide tools in conjunction with traditional tools. For whatever reason, I had it in my head that I needed to start with traditional tools and then became frustrated and moved to carbide. I now use them both on projects, but I thought I may have been in the minority. Subbed...!
Wow.....fantastic work on the mushrooms. I have been trying to figure out the offset turning for a bit now and finally thanks to this video; I've got it. Thank you for sharing.
The black walnut I used for this project has held the bark really well. I've used other types of wood that didn't hold as well, so I used a bit of CA glue to hold it in place. Good question!
Great question. I'm pretty sure I used all of them on this project. Typically, how many you use will depend on the shape you're wanting. Thanks for watching!
Just starting out and I'm impressed with your techniques. I wished I would have purchased the carbide tools as opposed to the traditional ones, but I just can't seem to bring myself to spend $300...yet! Is there another more reasonable brand of carbides that is also good quality?
Thanks for watching. Carbide tools are great and I love using them but you're right they are pricey. There are many brands out there but I'm only familiar with Easy Wood Tools. I've found that woodturning forums are good place to get some info without people trying to sell you something. Good luck.
I got three chisels, one round, one square and one diamond shaped for detailing in a nice storage box from Grizzly for about 100 bucks….. they are my “go to” chisels for most projects….They are so easy to use it almost feels like cheating!! Lol
Now….that is how you put a realistic twist to mushroom!!! Good job!
Thanks so much.

Thank you so much. Encouraging others to try new things is the main reason why I share my projects.

I'm glad you found some value. I hope your off center turning goes well. Thanks for watching.
Ha man, That's cool, good work
Thank you.
Liked the way you do your mushrooms
Thank you. I enjoy making them.
Nice work. I liked the base as it gave the feel of being in the woods to the project. Thanks.
Thanks so much for watching.
Nice. The stems really made them unique.
Thanks so much.
Great job. I liked the way you did the stems.
Thanks so much. It was a super fun project to make.
That is awesome

Thanks so much. I’m glad to hear that the video was able to help you out.
awesome
Thanks so much for watching!
These look great. thank you for doing this
So glad you like them! Thank you.
Looks great! But, how do you keep the bark from coming off that piece?
The black walnut I used for this project has held the bark really well. I've used other types of wood that didn't hold as well, so I used a bit of CA glue to hold it in place. Good question!
I find a lot of interesting mushrooms in my woods and now I can try my hand at wood turning some! Thanks for the info!
Thank you. I hope your mushrooms turn out great.
Nice work! What speed were you running at for the offset stems?
Thanks! It's been a while so I don't remember the exact speed but my best guess is that it was somewhere around 800 to 1,000 RPM.
Nice one mate great job watching here friend sending full support new sub here.
Thanks for watching and for the sub!
You make 4 off center marks on the end, do you use all of them or just one or two?
Great question. I'm pretty sure I used all of them on this project. Typically, how many you use will depend on the shape you're wanting. Thanks for watching!
How cheap is this ??
Sorry, I’m not sure I understand the question. Are you asking how much it cost to make or if I sold it, how much would I charge?
THATS what i mean with REAL looking Mosrooms ----nice work Dude , i will try to do the same ok??
Thanks so much! Good luck with your Mushrooms.
