Banksia cone
Banksia is a genus of plants with about 80 species of evergreen shrubs and trees that grow exclusively in Australia, including Tasmania.
Banksia cones are very suitable for woodturning because they consist of a firm, woody mass. When you hollow turn the cone, light enters through the seed openings. Let your imagination run wild and create unique jewelry, candlesticks for tea lights, handles for bottle openers and bottle stoppers or whatever you coax out of these bizarre banksia cones!
