So I had this idea and it took me a bit longer than expected to create but I'm pleased with how it turned out.
For this video, I used pinecones, epoxy, and copper wire.
The epoxy has been sanded to 10000 grit and finished with polish and a buff.
Let me know what you think, and if you'd buy one!

Disclaimer:
My videos are for entertainment purposes only. Some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest, so when using any tool or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines first.
And Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practice. The gloves I wear are tight-fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT copy my actions if you feel unsafe doing so.
