Stella D’Oro

[Todd in PA]

I tried turning Stella D'Oro Lilly seed pods. Not exactly a win. But I thought I'd share my experiment for others. Maybe you would have a better result.

I broke the blank, obviously (and that's a whole nuther rant about painted holes and epoxy! ). But I wet sanded what was left to see what I almost had. It might be tough to capture the beautiful 'filigree' of the pod in the narrow width of a pen tube. All that I captured in my small sample was the skeleton outline of the pod shape.

Your results may vary.

Next: Whatever the heck these are…

Yes . there are a bunch of different seed pods about that size which look so tempting , but don`t translate into a good looking pen . You need a format the size of a S & P shaker or a bottle stopper to show them off properly .

That's one of my favorite Day Lilies, Todd.
The seed head looks like it's from an Abutilon.

I think you may be on to something there. Maybe try a different color
