George, think laterally, plenty of allocasaurina's (beach sheoaks) down near the Spit. The pen turners use then in casting & produce interesting effects. Maybe the contorted seed pods of the wattles are worth a go.

Brendan,
Very striking use of the sapwood to frame the cast resin & to produce a quite dramatic effect. I'm curious how these will fare in the long term with potential wood movement.

I like the way this has come out.

Brendan, another very successful variation on your gum-nut-in-resin design series.

I expect they will walk out of the gallery door.
