These are how I carve and paint mushrooms. The pigs were commissioned by the local chamber of commerce for trophies for the winners of a BBQ contest last month. I prefer eastern red cedar, great looking anti-fungal wood, and its doesnt split too badly if you dry it slowly. Hope y'all enjoy.

Thanks CM

Not as into morrels here as your neck of the woods I guess. Started making these for my girldriend and then the neighbors wanted some and then... I am using OOPS paint from sLowes and Home Despot @$5-7/gal for exterior laytex, I can afford to make a few mistakes. Like your logo, was thinking about something similar but I will leave you room. I have another idea.
