    Default Banksia Pod

    Hey there,

    i got some Banksia pods from Neil (dai sensei) a while back, finally got some time to do one today, would have had some dramas if Neil hadn't sent some instructions with the blanks (Thanks Neil very informative and accurate) had to do two lots of stabilizing with CA, and ended up with a new pen for LOML, I got pics before it was confiscated.
    Thanks for looking, comments welcome.

    Thanks again Neil.

    Hey There,

    Thanks for the comments,
    Hey Peter you are right about not being in the inventory very long, I showed the pen to a client last night and it's sold and going to China tomorrow, along with the Coolibah Burl and a couple of other Australiana style pens.
