Banksia is a fairly popular exotic wood to turn, the problem is what to make of a small and fragile seed pod. I've made a few things, but I thought I'd revisit a favourite banksia project for you.
Here are some of the products which I use. Though, I receive no support from vendors of these products, I will mention them to aid the newer turners in deciding what they like and what they don't!
