Looks great there Brendan :2tsup:
Shame you didn't make it to the casting demo weekend at Donvale (see
https://www.woodworkforums.com/f69/do...ng-day-179617/). I didn't bring any casting epoxy with me and needed some. You could have demo'd that plus bring some along to sell.
I love the gumnuts, but have you been trying any other seed pods lately? I found some very unusual (for me anyway) Cypress seed pods, they were fully open, so like little 3D molecular shapes with an interesting speckled colour on the joints. Liquid Amber pods also have a beehive pattern if you turn to expose the middle of the pods.
Cheers
