Stabilised Banksia Pod/Navy

Banksia pods originate from southwestern Australia. They grow on trees from the Banksia  genus. However, of the many Banksi species, typically only the pods from the Bull Banksia (Banksia grandis ) are large enough and solid enough to be used for woodturning applications. These pods are commonly compared to pine cones, though Banksia trees are not conifers and arenint related to pine trees (Pinus  genus)inthe seed pod itself is considered the fruit of the tree.
