AUSTRALIAN BANKSIA PODS |
Banksia Pods |
"What the hell are those
things?" you may be asking yourself. Well, despite their
other-worldly appearance, these seed pods make for excellent
turning material. They're popular for
making handles, clock bases, and dried flower vases, among
other products. The Banksia tree (Banksia
grandis), which the pods grow on, was originally discovered by
(and named after)
the botanist Sir Joseph Banks, who traveled with Captain James Cook when
he discovered Australia in 1770.
Note: These pods
can create a lot of dust when turned, so good ventilation
and adequate dust protection are essential. Also, the pods
can be quite hard, so sharp tools should be used to work with
them. |
