    Default Secret Santa

    We had a secret santa at one of the offices I work at these days. Had to make something in a hurry, because I couldn't just give him a pen as usual, he already has one of mine . So I used one of my longer banksias cast with blue resin as a handle for a pie server I had. Bit small for my liking, and shape was far from perfect, but it was made in less than 30mins . Finished with CA

    Receiver liked it.

    I like that a lot. I had never thought of filling the holes. A new range of gunnadoos is calling. Is that the large WA pods or regular local ones.

    These are the regular ones from the coastal banksia. Have a look at the pen forum, and under casting, I've done quite a few postings there.

    Looks nice! I agree that the handle could be a smidge bigger, but it's a secret santa, not demanding Mother In Law I do like what you've done with it

    30 mins is also pretty schmick going

    Cheers,
    Dave

    Nice very nice
    I do not think anyone will care about shape or size as they will be memorised with that handle
