Coulter Pine Cone

These are tricky as all get-out but what beauty. The trick is to drill two different sized drill so that they do not bind the components.

Not asking for any critique, my skin is too thin.

Very nice pen John. Like the pine cone. That must been one big pine cone to make a cigar pen out of it.

Those cones are soo big and have such hard 'feathers' on them that they will blow a tire out on a car.

That's a nice looking pen. I am curious as to how you cut a pine cone. I assume it's not open yet-right?

It has been known to blow out tires. The feathers are as solid as the tree it self and an artist could make pendants out of them.
