Another encaplulated pinecone

[Dale Lynch]

Here's the second attempt.Used more resin this time so I could chuck it to finished shape.A cup of resin this time,I might need to find smaller pinecones.

Yes sir that is amazing. always the question has to be asked, How do they do that.
I like it. Every good pen needs a good paper weight.

 

[Dale Lynch]

Thanks.

Nicely done Dale. That could be made into a neat desk pen holder.

Cones of pine trees come in all sizes -- smaller ones are from "jack pine" in north-central states (Minnesota), Lodge Pole pine the west and Shore Pine (pinus contorta) in the west coast of north american up into Alaska.

There are some really big ones too -- the 2 gallon of resin kind.

Thanks fellas.

Tim, that's a good idea,I'll have to try and remember that for the extravaganza.

Frodo,lots of cones here too,just a walk in the park.

Ken,thanks for the pinecone lesson.A pinecone is a pinecone to me.Gonna have to try for the 1 1/2" range to allow for a decent wall thickness at 2" round in the future.

Nice job! Get just a little smaller and I'll bet it would make fabulous bottle stoppers!

 

[Dale Lynch]

I was thinking cane toppers.Bottle stoppers would work as well with 1" cones.
