Sweet Gum

[Gordon]

I've got a Sweet Gum tree that sheds 10,000 of those annoying nut balls all over my lawn.

Casted one of them with Pearl Ex - Aztec Gold & Macropearl.

Only 9,999 left to go.

Great looking pen. I've got to learn to cast.

Gordon, that's cool I've gathered a bunch of them with the intention of casting them.....just haven't gotten around to it. Any problems to look for?

Very nice pen! Now make some more for us to buy!!

Mick - I let the ball dry inside the house for about a week - and had to fill some voids with ca about half way thru the turning.

Good luck

Good job stepping (turning) outside the box . Very interesting and impressive .
