Playing with Pine Cones

[firewhatfire]

The Long Leaf Pine is the state tree of Alabama. I was asked to make a few of those in along with some other pens purchased from me recently. I have learned alot about turning pine cones throughout this process. I even managed to get a long click out of one of them. Comments and Critiques are welcome and thanks for looking.

all the best

Pucker value is probably pretty high trying to get a drill bit down that length of cone for a Long Clicker....most excellent!!!
