Liquid Amber Pods

[MBUMIK]

Well my sons street has these trees on the nature strip both sides of the road for roughly 2Km's
with that much inventory available i thought i had better have a go at making blanks out of them
this is the first attempt, What other color combination would an Aussie pick
Cast under Pressure, however there was still a few small air pockets which so far have been easily filled with CA
all in all i am very happy with the result shown in the 2 pens
i also have a cigar style ready that i hope to turn tomorrow night and about 2 more slabs worth of pods ready for casting

They look great MIK.
They look a bit bigger than the She-Oak pods.

Thanks Guys

Brad they are a little bigger i think roughly 25-30mm in diameter

i am going to have to get a bandsaw to cut these puppies up, should make it easier than the miter saw

here is the next slice off the block - Ultra Cigar

That kit and blank go well together MIK, should be a winner in the sales dept.

Also known as Sweet Gum, I've used the pods (or gum balls) in clusters of three to make tripods for coating log ends to regulate drying. The tripods enable coating both ends in a single session, because the spikes have negligible footprints.
