Just finished up a few birdhouse Christmas ornaments Assorted woods, these are always popular. Also, we had a lilac bush that was dying out, finally decided to pull it a couple weeks ago. I had never turned lilac so I put a little piece on the lathe and turned a quick little mushroom. Really nice wood to turn, the sapwood is almost white but the heart wood is really pretty with lots of color, kind of reminds me of marble.

On Oct 19 the Wednesday's Wisdom had a video on mushrooms and I swear there was a video on a natural edge wine glass but I can't find it. I had some time to play and decided to give the mushrooms a shot. I have a Linden/Basswood tree out back that drops up to 3" diameter limbs at times. This year when cleaning up I decided to bring some in to give them a try on the lathe. Turns out they hold their bark like it was glued on. Found out turning a mushroom and grabbed the biggest limb and turned a wine glass. Tear out was a big problem with the Basswood but sharp tools proved to be the answer again.
