G'day all,
I have seen several post regarding the Banksia Nuts which are the seed pod of the Banksia grandis.
The reason not many people get to turn this timber is that it cracks so quickly & so it is not very often you can get any decent sizes to turn.
This tree had been dead for over a year on my block. The trouble is when left standing you risk white ants getting stuck into it, luckily this didn't happen.
Photo is of a pair of lamps2014-05-24 11.20.29.jpg turned for a club competition.
Finish is soft wax then buffed.
C&C welcome as always.
