Mushrooms

Mushrooms are wonderful turned items. They can be just for display in your home or even set out into the garden. They can be large or small. Everyone will love your turned mushrooms.

Making a mushroom by Darrell Feltmate

Darrell says: People like mushrooms. I am not sure why, but they are a steady seller for me at craft fairs. One of the reasons is that I turn a lot of small ones to sell at about $3.00 each. This means that I have to turn them fast and furious. This is good because after the first hundred or so a challenge is needed to keep the turning going. Regardless of the size, I like to have them all proportional, which to me implies a height of two to three times the diameter. Occasionally I turn one a little more squat or a little longer but generally within this ratio.

In this photo tutorial, Darrell shows us all the steps in making a natural edge mushroom.
