Some small turnings
Turner Ted got me thinking about some banksia pods I had, and my cousin when here, was going to buy a Xmas tree hanger for $19 from the markets. I went "don't you dare buy that, I'll make you one!". I don't mind buying things I can't make, so here it is.

Its about 50mm around the bell and 80mm high.
out of the left overs I managed to turn this little fragrant diffuser, and I mean little, it's 50mm in diameter and about 45mm high.

I also had a bubbly cork floating around so I threw it in the chuck and quickly turned it down, gave a light sand and she's apples.
both finished with mineral oil.

Well done .
It's interesting what can be made from banksia pods . I've got a collection of offcuts to use up .
