- Welcome to today's woodturning project. It is my first time to turn banksia pod. I expected it to be a bit thicker, however, in combination with some walnut wood I turned a nice lidded vessel. The Danish oil really made the colors pop.
Hope you enjoy the video!

The banksia pod is very pretty no matter what you do with it. Absolutely gorgeous.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
The man dancing with the wood ... I watch every video with a smile on my face. They're all so nice. They are all works of art. Thank you very much for your sharing. Please continue. Greetings👋👋👏👏👏👏👏
Banksia pods have a beautiful internal structure. I've never turned one, but I used to collect them and cut them into longitudal slices that I stained and varnished.
Thank you so much for telling me about the Banksia Pod. Very informative.
Banksia pods look amazing when turned, I must remember to collect some when I'm out and about, I see them everywhere but always forget to pick them up.
Be careful they are designated as flora under the act that is picking wild flowers and illegal 🚫 you need to get a forest products permit information available WAGov website
Just so you know the fines if you are caught removing Flora or fauna from any Crown lands are very substantial
This is cool. I had to google what it was. I am so intrigued and wow! Just beautiful work.
Awesome project! I love banksia pods and I love how you incorporated the wooden top and base. Excellent work!

This particular piece of wood gives me the creeps... But I wanna see the final product.
You likely have trypophobia, basically lots of holes creep you out.
I know what you mean, I feel ill when I see Banksia nut/pod thingy.
@@muadibe7511 Lotus flower seed pods will do it too.
@@HughMcVea I had to look, didn't I. You're right. 🤢🤢🤢
Dude!....this is ridiculously good. First class craftsmanship and artwork here. Just an exceptionally beautiful piece.
Banksia pods are so cool. Nice job 👍

Excellent and very clever and looks fantastic finish. Thank you 👌👌👌👌
Nice work 👏 👌
That is a very unique piece of stock you turned....what surprises me is that a pod (seed-bearing fruit) can be turned at all! So....I read up on this topic and learned quite a bit. Your end project is beautiful and very nicely turned. Best wishes and be well.
WOW!! Very nice.
بہت عمدہ ۔۔۔۔۔سر 👏👏🌹🌹
I ordered 2 of them im so excited!
Very nice. Never seen one of those before. Might be interesting to use one as an epoxy resin project like a little night light.
Beautiful Piece !!!! Thank You
WOW.. This was a while back but I am just now seeing it. it is my Favorite piece. It is so exotic and beautiful
It's actually a cone not a pod - the hard bumps on it are seed pods that open to release the seeds. If you peel back the layer surrounding the pods there is fur underneath. All kids in the part of Sydney I grew up in the 70s knew this and we would pick them and peel to touch the lovely brown velvet inner layer ❤️
Lovely result. I have one lurking somewhere in my workshop, must track it down and hopefully finish up with a stylish vase.
I love your work
This one turned out really nice!! Great job.
Beautiful 😊
All his creations are excellent. Great work 👍
You make wood turning looks so easy . great project .
I love when he post it just makes my day better
You never to amaze me with your talent.💝
Oh WoW!!! Lovely. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
That is very beautiful.
Wonderful! Cheers from Italy!
I like everything you make.
Very nice job! I have a couple of these pods but the last time turning one I had a reaction to all the hairs, waiting for my full hazmat suit to arrive before I do any more 😂
Beautiful! glad you didn't use resin and just let its natural beauty shine
Good job
Nice work, looks great
La texture de ce bois est vraiment étrange mais le résultat est superbe !
very nice
Hmm... I think I'd stabilize the banksia pod first, then turn it. Nice piece.
Nice !
Beautiful.
Amazing work sir
Thank you, I have a small pot and a mushroom made from one of those. I didn't know what it was x
👍✔👌 good job ..cheers
Beautiful enjoyed watching never seen a pod being turned I thought for sure you were gonna use resin But turned out Awesome without Great job
This was awesome. What is the wood on the ends?
Very nice sir ✌
La casa de este debe ser puro jarrón
جدا جدا ...جميلة
I believe this cone is from a Banksia grandis (Bull Banksia). Beautiful distinct leaves and very large cones.
Found a whole bunch of these in the shed at my new place. Been trying to figure out what they were for a week. I finally found one when I googled “trypophobia pine cone” 😆
Serious question: When you (and every other wood turner I've watched) bore out the piece with the Forstner bit, why do you use your hand to guide it? Is your hand more steady than the tailstock? Is there so much play that you need to steady it?
I'm not challenging you. It just seems that the tailstock would be plenty stable by itself. Then again, I haven't touched a lathe since 1979, in wood shop class.
I got a good grade on the lathe, BTW. ;-)
Looks gorgeous, but what is it ?
Question; what was the green sponge looking item that you used to apply your finish? Very nice work, liked the look of it.
It looks like it has a bunch of barnacles attached to it.
Very nice. How did you hold the lid to finish the underside?
bu videolarda ne bulduğumu bilmiyorum ama sürekli izliyorum :) bi sıkıntı var
Thanks for sharing have a blessed day in the name of Jesus
Where does a Banksia Pod come from? This is totally awesome.
Banksia are group of shrubs and trees that occur in Australia. They are more a cone than a pod with capsules containing the seeds. The cone protects the seeds from fire. Many banksias require fire to regenerate because the heat stimulates the capsules to open and release the seeds. The seeds then benefit from growing in the nutrient rich ash bed
What did you actually make?
I have about 10 large banksia grandis seed pods much larger than the one you turned and alot of other turning size indigenous figured timbers and burl if you have any interest get back to me William
I know you have probably answered this question a million times. But can I ask what kind of finish you are using and the pad applicator? It looks almost like a friction finish on a piece of yoga mat lol.
someday when i have money i'm buying you a rotary table for the ends of your videos
Video no apto para tripofobicos cómo yo :(
