Macadamia Gall WW
I found some weird looking lumps on few branches the experts here tell me are Galls, see
here. I sliced some up and cast it with antique copper pearlex coloured resin. I have since found out the tree is an actual macadamia.
So here is the first pen turned from it, a JR Gent II finished in CA. It turned out well with swirling grain, a bit of bark, and the resin
. I've noticed from the photo I didn't get the size right at the bottom of the bottom piece 
, so I'll have to pull it apart and add some more CA to fix it 
.
