Last year at AAW symposium here in Phoenix, I traded some mulberry for some banksia pods. These came from the banksia tree in the Australian Garden at Balboa park in San Diego.
They are much smaller than the pods you usually see in someplace like woodcraft. Apparently there are hundreds of different species of banksia. These pods are about 3.5 -4" long and 1.5 inches in diameter.
And here is a pen one of the visually impaired turners at the center for the blind turned from one. It is filled with turquoise colored inlace granules.
Has anyone else turned these little pods?
