These little mushrooms are a great little fun thing to make. They are made from Florencecourt Irish Yew wood using the smaller branches of the yew which have fantastic markings when turned on the lathe. They are ideal as a small unusual gift. No one can resist lifting them and to feel the different textures and admire the beautiful patterns in the wood.
Some like to display one on its own and I have seen others set out in an interesting group of different sizes, like little soldiers, in a cluster or like ducks in a row. Whatever way you want to display them, they never fail to catch the eye.
Patterns may vary

The Mother of all Irish Yews in the world was found by a farmer, George Willis in 1740 in the Cuilcagh mountains in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. It was planted by his land lord, Lord Enniskillen at Florencecourt house. The Irish Yew is a dark and sombre tree with an ability for perpetual renewal and in this tradition the Mother of all Irish Yews can still be seen at Florence court. This smooth gold coloured wood was use to make dagger handles. bows, wine barrels and now cute little mushrooms!
