Pine Cone Pen

  • Media owner Gil Jones

I do not often turn pens, except for gifts to Veterans. Then I volunteered to make a turning as a prize for a "Tea Party" gathering on July 3. What to make??? A large Georgia Pine Cone fell a few feet away, and it answered that question. This is just a simple Slim Line pen kit using the core of a Georgia Pine Cone in place of wood. Thin CA glue firmed up the brittle Pine Cone core, and provided a surface finish as a bonus.
Comment if you wish.

Very clever,Gil, and very nice looking. I'm surrounded by pine cones and now you have me thinking how I can use them.

Smart idea for a good cause. I have about 80 billion pine cones (slight exaggeration) on my property, but never thought of pens. Nice job!
