Banksia Nut

While they are quite easy to turn, Banksia Nuts are a little dusty. When you turn these pods, instead of producing shavings you'll get a pile of a 'felt-like' substance. The seed cavities can reach well over halfway into the pod, giving turned projects a very unique appearance and texture. Some woodturners fill these voids with resin or other coloured inlay materials, while others choose to showcase the openings as a prominent design feature.
