I think it means more when you put in the time and effort to make something yourself.. That being said I don't ever feel like doing that myself. I just find gifts that are thoughtful even though not so much as something I did personally.

Just a jpg or other common file type... Bitmap would work, too...

Would need to be drawn in black with clean lines, and somewhat bulbous ( because most shroom shapes won't make a good cuttingboard.) 

I'm not sure exactly what my program (BobArt) can import at the time being.

That'd be sweet if you could :smile:

I could probably do that....
Cut the full outline, and then recess the rest for the illusion of 3 shrooms...

May be a week or so, though.
Thanks a lot. Pretty sweet!

Looking forward to it! I just traced the shroomery logo image using splines. easy to do with any picture.

Using vector geometry lets you resize without any loss in resolution though.

I think Boletus edulis would be appropriate but that could look really cool.

I'm assuming this is for food.

So... I'd like to try a different approach to the mushroom cutting board...

I cannot draw or anything, so I need your help again... (Johnny?)

I need a bulbous mushroom drawn digitally in black and white with clean, non pixilated lines.

The issue is that mushrooms don't have a shape condusive to cutting boards.
I'll need one that has a fat cap, and a short fat stem, with the stem being almost as wide as the cap.
(you know, so it can work as a proper cutting board.)

And, to make it look cooler, I was thinking of using 2 different wood combos for the cap and stem, so the bottom of the cap will need to be a near perfectly straight line so the cap wood doesn't go in to the stem and vice versa.....

Anybody care to assist me in making that drawing?
If someone had the skills needed it should only take a few minutes, but I don't have the software or the talent...

Thanks :smile:

let me know if any of these shapes work. If so i can convert to the same outline format as the previous one I sent you.

Awesome!
Nice finds!
I think a Single Mario shroom would work, as long as the bottom of the cap was flat...(meaning the orientation angle would just have to be adjusted so you're not looking at it from above).
Also, if I use the Mario shroom, could you leave the eyes in and I can see whether I can inlay them. :smile:

Also, the one under the Mario shroom would also work if the stem was about 25-50% fatter....

I can use really any shape, it's just that the functionality of the cutting board would decline... y'know?

If you're unable to, it's ok, bud...

If nothing else I can try this

with the red being Walnut and then try to inlay all the white in Oak...

That could be pretty fucking epic, no?

Thanks for posting that Mario shroom...I was having trouble with my Google search terms until I saw that in your reply :smile:

Here are the two I have going now. They look rough still, but once they're sanded and oiled I think they'll turn outnicely...
And the one needs to let the two glue joints dry and then I'm gonna glue those both together...



The 1st pic are the boards that made the one in the middle. . Just that it was taken before I started cutting it up...

I ended up cutting up the blank on the right because I didn't like it, so it became the finished one on the right...
In case anybody cared to see the results... ..

I'm curious.... Because I truly do not know and eBay isn't helping much...

If I were to make them for sale, how much do you think would be a fair asking price for those?
I know the owl would be the most because it was a shitload of work, but do you guys have any clue about cutting board prices or what I could get for those?

I would look more into etsy for pricing. But knowing they are handmade from nice woods, I'd price them between 25-35$.

you should get more if you do custom ones like the owl obviously

I think both look awesome but I like the one on the left more.
