Yep, thats a beauty allright.

I know I would be more than happy if I created that.

That has turned out really smick, nice contrast of colour and well finished.

Beautiful result

Question - are the pods impregnated with a orange resin before casting in the black, or is that just the actual seeds still in the pods?

Neil, the pods were impregnated first, I got as much resin into the openings as I could by dunking in red and helped by using a small brush to push it in, let it gel very slightly before casting with the black. I got rid of as many seeds as I could by dehydrating as they were unopened when I collected them.

Troy do you want some of these pods? The large ones are only on the one small tree near where I am but can get you some. Plenty of the smaller black oak pods out here also if not a local species there. cheers, Des
