Banksia Pods

[Warrangarree]

Hi,
Thanks for any help or advice in advance!
I would like to know where you can buy Banksia Pods for turning?
And also if the pods found locally in Sydney are of any use (I suspect not as I can't find any references).

Try Trend Timber.There were plenty available at the WWW show
The local banksia cones are a bit too small but I have heard of pen turners using them.
