the best thing about manzanita is its free.

That is a good looking mushroom, I love Manzanita. Nicely done.

i dont know,,, kind of weird looking to me... looks more like a plug for something than a mushroom!!!! mushrooms are more flared out like an umbrella no????

[jim carter]

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.

:pwell, ok, ya got me.... there were a few looking like yours in my chinese food ....

[Mark Norman]

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

[jim carter]

the color does hold with as long as it has some type of finish on it.
