The last mushroom...

So, after a beer bottle opener in various guises followed by a corkscrew, one would be forgiven for assuming I have a drink problem. Well, to prove otherwise, here is the last of the "Useful Mushroom" range.

These salt and pepper pots are made in a similar fashion to the previous entries and the set finish off the range.....for now. It's been a lot of fun, and a huge challenge to machine and produce. The bases, as before are turned from solid stainless, bead blasted, electro-polished and engraved, and the tops are turned from solid red nylon. What with all that, plus adding the "spots" and infilling the lettering, they've taken a lot of effort to complete....worth it though, they look great on the table.

I have had other suggestions, appreciated of course (keep them coming) - these are filed for a future return but I have other more poignant works in mind that I really must start working on. 

Soon to be on my web site as a limited edition (I only have 4 pairs) so if you want a set, grab one quick!

More Useful Mushrooms

As promised, here's the next incarnation of the "Useful Mushrooms" range, kindly suggested by a blog follower.
These corkscrews complement the original bottle opener (as featured in September 2012 of this blog). and on the website.

Again, massively over engineered, with lathe turning, machining, bead blasting, plating and electro-polishing all called upon to make the piece

Huge fun though...
