Betel nut Ultra Cigar

[Kalai]

Hi everyone, I have a friend that has a bunch of Betel nut palm trees, there are some people that chew the nuts from this tree but I like to dry the nut and turn it.
In the past I have only made miniature bowls from these betel nuts, they average about 3/4 of inch round, like small marbles.
I decided to take some and I sanded the ends of a bunch of the nuts and then I drilled them and then glued them together and then glued the tube and made this pen, I hope that you enjoy it, I used 8 betel nuts to make this pen. Aloha.

:bananen_smilies027::bananen_smilies027: Kalai; What a unique pen you have made!!! One would never in a million years guess that it is made of Betal nuts glued together. Color and texture are grate. Fit and finish are excellent. Next time we are on the islands I will have to bring some back. Peace !! Jim S

That is pretty cool.

Any interest in selling a small flat rate box of the nuts? The miniature bowl idea seems right up my niece's alley.

Very cool!! For a second here, I was almost thinking this was a really big nut....but then the close-ups showed the segmenting of them.


Can nuts(which is a seed) even be shipped into the continental United States?

Just looked at your site. I was hoping you might offer the nuts for sale. Do you plan to offer them? I would be interested in some.

Kevin; Look on E-Bay. There are all kinds of nuts on there. Take that any way you see fit. Jim S

Hey guys, thanks for all the comments, it was fun to make this pen and it turned out real well. To those who might want some, I do not sell them right now but I will be making some for the pen turners so keep your eyes out.
I looked on ebay and they do sell the nuts on ebay and the guy is in Florida, he sells them by weight and I weighed some and for 8 oz. you will get about 44-50 nuts and it took me 8 nuts to make this pen. If any of you have any questions about this let me know. Thanks again and aloha.
