THAT would make a cool brush handle! :D
I actually have one of those pods just sitting on one of my shelves here for decoration. I wonder how you could seal it to keep the water out :hmmm: Would make a really cool looking brush handle if you ask me.
My grandfather had 3 huge barns made from nothing but redwood on his farm...lol
Love that wood on the handle btw.
I often thought about getting some of these, to try an make a brush handle. But hesitated due to them being described as a nut. My daughter has nut allergies so not a good thing to have dust flying around with something like that. Can anyone clarify if it's a nut or just a seed pod?
Speaking as an Aussie, I feel I have to say "Hands off my wood"!!! ;)
Anyone heard of Cook Town Iron wood? Supposed to be from a small area in AU.
Picked these up today from my wood supplier. A Banksia pod and a 2x2x16 Golden Amboyna burl scantling.

Gonna give the Banksia pod a go. Im thinking a tinted epoxy for filling the holes. Should be a fun challenge and should be quite messy. Apparently the Banksia pods shoot seeds from those large holes the second your lathe goes on. Im thinking 500 RPMs to start. :)
