Our David told me we need some mushrooms for the kids to color in our Christmas shop so today I cut up all my thin logs and I ended up with 70 bits of wood I could only turn 66 of them as 4 were to thin for my jaws and I was to cream crackered to set up my wood jaws they are straight of the tool no sanding and no finish it isn't needed the kids will be painting them

Last time I saw that many mushrooms we'd been eating them, what a night that was (I think) :goesred:

I've always loved the look of these and you do them very well.

Can't believe that's a days production, if I did them, you could grow them quicker :funny:

Woody,

Well done with your Mushrooms et al. It is fun when you develop a system and with you it shows. I admire your work and look forward to your posts.

Kind regards Peter.:goesred:
