Nothing in your photos to indicate size, but I'm fairly sure they are Leopard Tree (Caesalpinea ferrea) pods.
But they never dry fully. There always seems to be an amount of a dark syrupy sap in them, so the casting might be disappointing.Brian

Your's look like they aren't fully matured. The seed sometimes separates inside the husk and can rattle around - sorta - in a fully matured one that has fallen to the ground. A platter could look good.
This thread https://www.woodworkforums.com/f69/le...e-pods-163766/ by gawdelpus has some nice examples in a pen turning.
