Mushrooms in the Woodshop

- Turning a Mushroom from a common limb. This involves green wood and turning a mushroom on a wood lathe. I will walk you through the process from layout to finished product.
Wood turning can be an enjoyable hobby and this is something that you can make in just a few minutes and share with your family and friends.
This is also a product that sells well in craft shows and local markets.
Have fun in the wood shop and stay safe, stay healthy, and happy turning.
Mushrooms in the woodshop. Sounds like a moisture problem, LOL. Nice job.
It kinda does :) Thanks for Watching!!!
Was hoping you would share finishing process.
These are amazing. My Bride gave me a lathe for my birthday and I can't wait to try making a few mushrooms, Gnomes and other cool items I've been watching you make. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
Happy birthday, and congrats on the new lathe. Thanks for Watching!!!
This is so informative . Thank you.
You are so welcome! Thanks
Well done Dean. Thank you for sharing.🙂🙂
Thanks Glen
I love ALL of your work and videos. Im going to attempt at some. Thankyou from Perth Western Australia
Thank you Wendy, and Thanks for Watching!!!
Nice demo on doing a mushroom. The irregular top is the only way to go. I love the look of it that way. Kind of like the Black Locust droop bowl I did. It has a very rugged rim on it.

Thank you. Most interesting demos on utube
Glad you think so!! Thanks so much for Watching!!!
Nice project.
Thanks, George!
Great looking mushrooms Dean! I'm a member of GCWA and saw your post on the FB group.
Thank you
It's easy to get the tool rest nearer to the the undercut. Just point the LHS of the tool rest close to the stalk of the mushroom at 90 deg along the undercut.. I prefer a parting tool for a deeper undercut but the gouge works too.
Thanks for Watching!!
love your videos, I get lots of ideas from you, thank you

That was amazing. I have been looking for a lathe and starting to turn.
Thanks, and Thanks for Watching!!!
Enjoy all your videos. What kind of finish did you put on your mushrooms? They look great.
I do like your work Dean,but love your lathe,have one on order since April,still not here yet
Thanks Fran, You will love it when it comes in sorry its taking so long. Waiting stinks. Thanks for Watching!!!
Just subscribed great 👍
Thank you so much. Have an Awesome Day!!!
Thank you very much for that. Was the timber fairly green?
Yes it was
I have done a few small ones. But when I try to do the bigger ones, they split. I had the same problem with the gnomes. What am I doing wrong?
The secret is when turning green wood coat it with danish oil or Minwax antique oil finish as soon as you get through turning it then the next day put another coat and once you have three coats on there you will get very little if any cracking at all
@@DeansWoodworking THANK YOU
Very nice. I will make some right now. Will you tell me what finish you used. I like how shiny they are. Thanks. d.
Thanks, The finish is min-wax Antique Oil Finish. Thanks for Watching!!!
I see you use the Minwax antique oil finish a lot. Approximately how long does it take to dry & degas? I am beginning to make items to sell for the holidays and just want to plan enough time for the finishing part.
It dries to the touch in a few hours I normally wait 24 between coates and allow 2 days for it to cure before wraping or taking to a show. Thanks for Watching!!!
How did u seal these...really cool
Minwax antique oil finish. Thanks for Watching!!!
Hey love the mushrooms I think I’ll try to make some been turning for bout a yr now, also you said u was from east texas what part I’m in east texas born and raised here
Thanks Jim glad you like them. I grew up in Lufkin. Thanks for Watching!!!
@@DeansWoodworking I’m from corrigan lived in Lufkin for 35 yrs retired and moved home to corrigan small world
Great video sir! I'm intrigued about the worksurface your tool rest seems to be attached to. Is that shop made?
Yes, it is! I drilled a 1" hole in a 1/4" piece of plywood and put my tool rest through it.
@@DeansWoodworking Gotcha, that's a good idea - should definitely help keep all the mess from getting down in your lathe. Thanks Mr. Dean!
The reason I did this was so the overhead camera would have a better background and the turning would stand out.
@@DeansWoodworking Well that makes perfect sense too. Thanks again!
