My first Banksia pod blank and pen

[corbybenderart]

I cast my first Banksia pod this week and turned a beautiful cigar pen from it. These pods are really cool. The grain pattern on them is just wild. It's kind of burl-like without really being a burl (I think). Anyone else have a Banksia pod pen they want to show off? I'd be curious to see what you've made with this weird material. If you haven't tried a banksia pod blank yet, check them out, they are super cool!

I put 2 that I still have up on my Pen Blank Sales site if you wanna look into it, up to you. Thanks for looking at this pen, it's just so unique!
