mushrooms come in many shapes. i wanted to show off the wood coloring more than the shape. i cut alot of manzanita for ny bird product bus. and now im catching myself looking at the end grain every cut i make. i have piles of scraps that would have been good for turning if i got on them right away but now they are only good for bbqing.

Looks good, that wood is beautiful. Does the color hold over time?
