Finial is a nice touch! Makes everything blend....
Looks similar to our 'American Sweetgum Pods'. Very cool!
Scott (casting is fun) B
Yes Scott, it does...!
Was only a few days that I discover a large She-Oak tree in the middle of the town next door, McLaren Vale. I took a few pics of the tree/branches and 1 pic of the ground that has to have at least 3" thick of old pods, just unbelievable.
I didn't take any, and I know many other places where I can get these pods if I wanted too but, there are already too many folks casting them here in Australia and lots of you guys casting them in the US, from the Sweetgum tree, they look very identical indeed...!
The only pic that didn't come out any good was the one of the ground, as it got out of focus and you can't see what the pic is about, the other pics are OK and I will share them here. I may go there next Wednesday and take a couple of new pics of the ground under that big tree, so that you guys can see what I mean...!
PS: Nice pen, bytheway
Cheers
George
